Advice for parents: How to raise smart, healthy, caring, and responsible kids

Here you will find a chart of 40 “developmental assets” every child and teenager needs. Use the chart as a checklist to help you monitor whether your child is on track for success in life, and as the basis for intervention when things go wrong.

There are tips for moms and dads, describing in detail strategies for instilling in their children healthy attitudes and values, as well as suggestions for establishing boundaries and expectations for harmonious family life. Being a fully-involved parent is not easy, and this site will help you develop the skills you will need.

This kind of information is more important than ever in a society where many children learn their attitudes and values by default from their peer groups and the media.
