Powerful Parenting: The Asset-Building Way The idea of 'developmental assets,' introduced by Search Institute in Minneapolis, gives a new sense of hope and practical direction for parents. Researchers at Search Institute have identified 40 assets that have a powerful, positive impact on young people. Children and teenagers who have a lot of assets get involved in very few risky behaviorsthe kinds of problems we worry about. And when young people have a lot of assets, they are much more likely to do the positive things we value. Assets do make a difference. By incorporating them into your parenting, you can help your child grow up happy, healthy, and responsible. The Search Institute has created a weekly newsletter that will explain further and give practical information on each asset. Click on the links below.
