What Young
Children Need to Succeed
Working Together to Build Assets from Birth to
Age 11
by Jolene L. Roehlkepartain and Nancy Leffert, Ph.D.
Based on groundbreaking research, building on the success of WHAT KIDS NEED TO SUCCEED and
WHAT TEENS NEED TO SUCCEED, this new book helps adults create a firm foundation for
children from day one.
As in the previous two books, the focus is on developmental assets—family support, a
caring neighborhood, positive values, social skills, and more—that help children
start out right and grow up healthy, well-adjusted, and strong. You’ll find hundreds
of practical, concrete ways to build 40 assets in four different age groups: birth to 12
months, 1 to 2 years, 3 to 5 years, and 6 to 11 years. The authors have also included
unique tips for nine specific groups: parents, educators, child-care providers,
health-care professionals, congregational leaders, employers, librarians, community
leaders, and children themselves. Inspiring true stories show how individuals,
organizations, and communities across the United States are building assets for children;
resources point you toward more information.
