Reviews

<p>“What a gift! From the first words (&quot;bring it on!&quot;) to the last (&quot;and we thrive&quot;), Chris speaks with an authenticity and insight that can only come from having walked the talk. I wish every adult who parents, cares for and supports young people - and everyone who has known adversity - could experience the inspiration, the insights, and the sense of hope that fills this book.

It's clear to me that EVERY juvenile probation officer in the world needs to hear this CD. I plan to incorporate it into my new employee orientation.”</p><p align="right"><em>Steve Nesky</em><br />Treatment Coordinator<br />Coconino County Juvenile Court,<br />Flagstaff, Arizona</p><p align="right">  </p> <p>&quot;Reflecting Strengths is such a powerful twist on how we look at and interact with our youth. I use the stories as conversation starters at weekly staff meetings. Looking at these reflections and talking about them in relation to the children we work with brings new life and energy into our daily interactions with them. Reflecting Strengths is a &quot;must read&quot; for anyone who has relationships with kids, no matter what age.&quot;</p><p align="right"><em>Diane Hancock</em><br />Child Care Administrator<br />Windham, Maine</p>
