40 Ways Anyone Can Build Assets

Many things you do — or could do — every day make a big difference for kids. How? By building developmental assets — the 40 essential building blocks that children and teenagers need as a foundation for growing up. Research shows that these assets can have a positive impact on young people's lives. Here are some suggested activities concerning Positive Identity:

• Dwell on what children do right instead of what they do wrong.
• Avoid comparing young people with each other.
• Let youth know you are proud of their talents, capabilities and discoveries.
• Listen when young people talk about their sense of purpose in life.
• Ask young people what they are passionate about.
