3. 40 Developmental Assets for Elementary-Age Children

   Search Institute has identified a framework of 40 developmental assets for elementary-age children (ages 6 to 11) that blends Search Institute's research on developmental assets for adolescents with research on healthy child development. For more information, see What Young Children Need to Succeed (Free Spirit, 2000). The United States Catholic Conference of Bishops sees, in these assets, a way to strengthen the families of children and youth (Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry, 1997). Catechetical Leaders and catechists can find many ways to build these assets in their ministry with children.
