| What Teens Need to Succeed: Proven, Practical Ways to Shape Your Own Future by Free Spirit Publishing Outstanding book for both parent & child to read. | | This book should be a requirement in every home. It is wriiten for a teen but shoul dbe read by both parent and child. The concept of the 40 assets is fundamentally simple. The book defines the assets and then gives advice on how the adolescent, parent(s), community,school, and congregation can help to ensure that a child is brought up with all of the assets they need to be a successful person. It has examples of the successes that communities across the country have had setting the concepts of the assets into into motion. The excellence of the book is reinforced by a lecture I attended by Dr. Benson 2 months ago. The concept of the developmental assets being the framework for a successful, well-rounded person makes perfect sense. It should be adopted as a National standard. | | What Teens Need to Succeed: Proven, Practical Ways to Shape Your Own Future by Free Spirit Publishing A wonderful book for teens and their parents! | | We like the book so much that we are adopting the asset building concepts featured! As the Red Ribbon Chair for the Red Ribbon Coalition, I will urge volunteer coordinators to put at least one copy in their school library! Irvine Unified School District's Guidance Resources will include the list of 40 Developmental Assets (from the book) in our 1999/2000 parent handbook. This is an excellent resource for anyone who cares about helping youth succeed! |
