Perfectly Capable Kids

Discovering and Building on
the Natural Abilities within Every Child
Kolbe theory sees every student as perfectly capable, though always in a unique and personal way. Instead of judging children against one arbitrary, impersonal standard, this method focuses on the child's natural instinctive abilities and innate strengths. By encouraging the expression of these individual gifts, then linking them to wise decision-making and personal enthusiasm, the theory helps teachers and parents find the "naturally perfect" capabilities in every child.

This process can transform the way families function, as well as individual performance. Family members whose capabilities differ discover a language and perspective that helps them see one another as uniquely gifted, rather than stubbornly uncooperative. As each person comes to understand his or her own strengths, and the natural abilities of loved ones, team cohesiveness, effective support, and mutual understanding grow where there once may have been tension and discord.
