(Revised, Expanded, and Updated Edition)
Peter L. Benson, Ph.D., Judy Galbraith, M.A.,
and Pamela Espeland
With over 220,000 copies in print, the
original What Kids Need to Succeed is a proven best-seller.
Communities across the nation have embraced its quick-read,
common-sense suggestions for helping kids lead healthy,
productive, positive lives and stay out of trouble. The first
edition identified 30 Developmental Assets™ essential to
promoting success and preventing at-risk behaviors. This
revised, expanded, updated edition, based on findings from a
recent nationwide survey conducted by Search InstituteSM,
includes the latest information on asset-building and expands
the original 30 assets to 40. It describes new assets including
caring neighborhoods, community service, integrity, cultural
competence, and peaceful conflict resolution, then gives
specific suggestions for building all 40 assets at home, at
school, in the neighborhood, and in the faith community. With
over 700 ideas to try, What Kids Need to Succeed makes anyone an
asset-builder and a positive force in young people's lives.
