Change the Way You Play

Brandon found Strengths Finders ten years ago as a useful tool to help businesses and their employees. Until one day, he saw it as an extremely useful tool for parenting.

A strengths-based approach to human behavior caused the Millers to re-think the way they raised their 7 children (4 daughters and 3 sons).

Brandon and Analyn felt the need to reshape the way they invested and interacted with the kids. They wanted to be intentional about managing time with their children with different personalities.

Authoritarian and Authoritative Parenting Styles

These highly instructive and corrective (sometimes cold) style of parenting can come across as conditional. Most of our generation was raised this way, and sometimes it doesn’t allow for the grace of growing up and our kid’s individual strengths.

The question is: how do we establish structure, and still allow for trust and love in the home?

How we were parented affects how we will parent our kids. We discuss how to approach our childhood from a place of gratefulness for the foundation our parents laid, and add great things to that foundation.

Ultimately, the Millers discovered that a strengths-based approach is the most responsible approach when it comes to laying a safe foundation.

One child is into sports.

One child is raising farm animals.

One child is an electrician.
