What Kids Need to Succeed 2nd ed

Kids who succeed have specific assets in their lives – not financial assets, but developmental assets including family support, a caring neighborhood, self-esteem, and resistance skills.  The more assets young people have, the less likely they are to lose their way and get into trouble.  Based on groundbreaking nationwide studies, this book spells out 40 assets – good things every young person needs.

– more than 900 specific, concrete suggestions help you build assets at home, at school, in the community, and in the congregation

– checklists help you identify the assets your kids already have so you can focus on the ones they need

– special “tips for teens: build your own assets” sections help young people shape their own success
