Create a firm foundation for children from day one. Give them assets -- not financial assets, but developmental assets including family support, a caring neighborhood, positive values, and social skills. These assets help children start out right and grow up healthy, well-adjusted, and strong. Based on groundbreaking research by Minneapolis-based Search Institute, this book spells out more than 1,000 practical, creative ways to build assets in children from birth to 11 years. These are things that anyone can do; you don't have to be an "expert". If you're a parent, educator, childcare provider, health-care professional, congregational leader, employer, librarian, or community leader, you'll find tips especially for you. You'll also find tips for children themselves -- ideas that get them started building their own assets. Inspiring true stories show how people across the United States are building assets for children. Resources point the way toward more information.
