Our Assets

We often define "asset" as something tangible we own. Search Institute has researched developmental assets (positive relationships, values, and skills) that kids need at different ages (http://www.search-institute.org/research/assets) to become caring, responsible adults. 

What are the assets that make us contented parents? Site Administrator from Ohio, commented that one of them is alone time. Others I have talked to have mentioned the following:

• Hobby
• Supportive spouse
• External support (friends, parents who can pitch in and help)
• Hired help (nanny, cleaner, gardener, and such)
• Kids in the neighborhood
• Extra classes for kids
• No extra classes for kids
• Eating before feeding your kids
