Maximise Strengths
o What can you do if you are finding things hard a lot of the time?
o What can you do if you do not feel very capable?
1. Remind yourself of your strengths every day. Keep a list of
your strengths, a collage of photographs which shows them or
speech bubbles with positive things people have said about you.
2. Get involved in as many things as possible that use your
strengths – in and outside of school.
Find out what clubs are available that match your strengths.
What do you enjoy? Sports, art, chess, computing, animal
welfare, design?
If there aren’t any clubs you are interested in near you, speak to
your school, ask an adult to help you get in touch with your
local council or look on the internet.
3. Make sure other people know your strengths so
that they can design lessons and tasks that use them.
