Editorial Review:
The Strengths Explorer For Ages 10 - 14 package includes:— Youth Workbook
— Parent Guide
— one online youth strengths assessment access codeGallup’s StrengthsFinder titles — including Now, Discover Your Strengths and StrengthsFinder 2.0 — have helped millions of adults discover their strengths. Now, in response to repeated requests from parents, Gallup has created a strengths assessment program specifically for young people. StrengthsExplorer For Ages 10 to 14 was developed with the renowned rigor and expertise of Gallup researchers, many of whom participated in the development of StrengthsFinder for adults. The program is a fun, simple way for adolescents to discover and develop their own unique gifts and abilities. An ID code allows teens to access a specially designed website. Then, by answering a series of questions about themselves, they learn about their strengths. An activity-filled workbook helps them focus on those strengths, while a parent’s guide suggests ways that parents can learn more about their child’s abilities and encourage their continued development.

Rating:  - Not worth the price
I had high hopes for this given my opinion of the Strengths Finder for adults. It's twice as expensive as the Strengths Finder and gives about half the value. The actual instrument (test) is very short, and the level of description about the strengths is too skimpy.
Not bad, but not worth it. Maybe Gallup's foray into this age bracket research will yield better results down the road.
Rating: - KidLead recommends this book.
There are very few resources that seriously recognize and tap the latent potential in kids, especially in this age bracket. As America's only leadership development program for 10-13 year olds, KidLead (www.kidlead.com) applauds these authors and recommends this book as a resource to KidLead parents. Thanks!
