Based on groundbreaking research, building on Search Institute's proven framework of developmental assests-good things all children need in their lives-this book is a year's worth of insights, inspiration, and practical tips for parents, teachers, and caregivers.

Using the popular daily readings format, each entry begins with a thought-provoking quotation related to a particular assest. A brief essay presents information about child development, advice, anecdotes, ideas to consider, or activities to try. A 'Today' statement suggests an action for the day.

The readings are short and simple; it only takes a moment or two to learn a new way to build social skills, positive values, boundaries and expectations, family support, and more. Every day, you'll be giving young children the support they need to stay on the right path.

If you want to create a positive foundation for the young children in your life, this book is for you.
