Below is a list of the 40 Developmental Assets identified by the Search Institute. The more of the assets that are present in your child’s life, the less likely they are to engage in at risk behavior (making bad choices). The more of the assets that are present in their lives, the more likely they are to be successful. Their latest research publication talks about the importance of what they are calling Developmental Relationships. If you work with children, I strongly encourage you to learn more!
