Thrivers - The Surpising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine

This year we invite you to study Thrivers with us.  This book outlines surprising reasons why some kids struggle and others shine.  Today’s kids are less happy, more stressed, lonely, and depressed when compared to any generation.  The difference between those children who struggle and those who succeed is not due to grades or test scores, but to seven teachable character strengths.  The ultimate goal is to help children adopt each Character Strength as a lifelong habit to optimize their potential to thrive.

Below are some links with resources to assist your study.
