It is very important to concentrate on the strengths and interests of Children - concentrating on the issues within the Austrian school system. (Maybe applicable to other country's school systems as well)

1. Strengthening
Strengths
By Manuel Hückel

2. Issue within school system in Austria
● Every Child has own Strengths &
Weaknesses → different interests
● Generalized teaching = easy, but not
efficient
● Boredom for children
● Causing lack of motivation

3. Finding the children’s Interests & Strengths
● Limit classes for efficient studying
● Let the children choose their subjects → what they are interested in
● Motivation for them to thrive for information and find more out about their
subject
● Strengthening their strengths by challenging them on subjects they are good
at
● External motivation to be successful and be the best in their subject

4. Outcome
● Successful Children through cooperation with teacher = student and teacher
are on one level with equal interests in the subject
● Positive effect on society → happy child contributes to the success of its
surroundings (parents, friends, family,...)
● Leading the children in the right direction after school = no worrying about
the choices they make for their studies as they know what they are good at,
interested in and want to do later

5. Happy Child = Happy Life
