A strength is something that you're good at or a characteristic that makes you a better person. One of my strengths are that I have an imaginative mind and go for what I want to do.
Weakness is the opposite of strength. A weakness I have is that I can't really "get along" with most kids and am sometimes too nice that I'm weak.
Sometimes a trait you have can be either a strength or weakness. It depends on how it is used. Being a perfectionist is good because everything is done the way you think is best. However, probably no one working with you would like you because you are hard to work with.
So, what are your strengths and weaknesses? Do you think you are born with certain strengths and weaknesses or you learn them from your environment? Can you change your weaknesses into strengths or do you think it is part of your nature?

Three Types of Parents
The Three types of Parents is a way to find out what kind of parent your parents are. There are consultant, helicopter, and drill sergeant types of parents. The chart is about what each parent is like.
A consultant parent is a very kind parent. The parent keeps the child feeling strong. Consultant parents can help their children with a problem without giving them the solution. This parent let's the child be the teacher of them self. The parent can guide their child through life in a good way. This type of parent can use words without actions and still keep their child feeling happy. I would love to have a consultant parent.
A helicopter kind of parent is very protective over their child. This parent tells their child about their weaknesses. The parent acts as the teacher and makes the child's decisions. The helicopter like parent complains to their child. The parent uses more actions than words that would not make the child feel positive. I would not want this type of parent.
The last of the three types of parents is the drill sergeant type of parent. This parent is like a general in the army. The parent orders the child to do what they want them to do. Also, this parent makes the child’s decisions. This parent gives orders, uses threats, and harsh words. The drill sergeant type of parent acts as the child's teacher but uses much pain and humiliation. I would never want this type of parent. I have seen this type of parent before though. He was a soccer coach. He was screaming orders to his players. I could see and hear him yelling the whole entire game.
I used this chart to see which parent my parents were. Mom had 9 consultant votes, 1 helicopter vote, and 1 drill sergeant vote. My mom is then a consultant parent. My dad had 6 consultant votes, 1 helicopter vote, and unfortunately 4 drill sergeant votes. I must honestly say that my dad does sometimes use pain, and harsh words. So dad was a consultant parent but still a bit of a drill sergeant. I still love him since he is my dad.
I was glad that both of my parents were consultant parents.
