Your Family: Using Simple Wisdom in Raising Your Children

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

All families need as much confidence and support as they can get. This compact booklet helps parents and caregivers reflect on their important role-and the power they have-to bring good things into the lives of their children. By introducing the concept of developmental assets as simple wisdom supported by robust research, the booklet is a perfect tool for strengthening the positive qualities of families. In 24 pages, it provides parents and caregivers easy-to-follow summaries of the eight asset categories and what these areas of development mean to their children. Using reflection exercises, the booklet encourages parents to look at what they do on a daily basis to build assets with and for their children and what else they can try.
