Baby Strengths Published by Innovative Resources

Caring for a baby or toddler can be fun, surprising, challenging, exhausting... the best and most difficult thing you have ever done!

Bonding or 'secure attachment' between a baby and mother or primary caregiver is an essential ingredient in every baby's development. Recognising the strengths in your baby's behaviour is central to creating healthy bonds.

Sometimes parents struggle to interpret or value the behaviour of babies or toddlers: what to an adult may be 'making a mess' is baby's way of learning about the world through play. Baby Strengths is a set of 25 delightfully-illustrated cards for: recognising baby strengths, understanding baby cues, nurturing connections with baby, building solid foundations for baby development.

Baby Strengths can be used to build dynamic conversations with: mothers, fathers and grandparents, childcare and family workers, parenting educators, health professionals ...and anyone who cares for babies and parents.

Strengths in Teams Published by Innovative Resources

Most of us spend a great deal of our lives being part of one team or another: at school, in the community, in clubs, in sport and at work. 'Strengths in Teams' is a set of 30 lavishly illustrated, full-colour cards depicting a zany and delightfully whacky circus. Except this circus looks very familiar. In fact, it shares all the idiosyncrasies and foibles of just about any team. But like any effective team, these characters also demonstrate that they have strengths, and they depend upon the strengths of all members. This card set has two simple messages: we all contribute strengths to our teams and we all gain strengths from our teams. 'Strengths in Teams' is all about noticing, identifying, mobilising and celebrating these strengths.
