40 Developmental Assets.

That's so cool! Thanks Karen! Thanks Ali!

Just a note to say I loved your blog about your mom......going to go visit my daughter soon and I hope she has the same kind of nice things to say.
Hugs,

Thanks for the great link. I will have to take a closer look at their great advice.

Every many little things can make you a stronger person - it's great to have so many people around to help lift your spirits with so many stories and information to help make the road a little easier to travel on......

very cool!! thank you for the links.

Thanks for sharing this. Great website and powerful information.

Maybe yet another resource to bring you back?
;)

Very cool list. How awesome that she shared it! You know I don't really like writing lists myself, but I like all information presented to me in list format. I will print this one off!

I just printed it out! Thanks so much, Karen and Ali, for pointing this out! :)

Ali you are so welcome!! I do trainings on this all the time and it is soooo true--all of us make a difference.
HUGS to you and little dude :)

Thanks for the link Ali! Very cool site, I printed 2 of the lists, one for each age category based on my boys' ages. They will be very helpful. Have a great day!

Hi Ali!
I just wanted you to know that you inspired me to start my own blog. I learned a lot from you at CKU and it inspired me to start writing again! Hence my blog here on typepad...I just started it and I am still figuring it out!

It must be a sign because this morning I recieved the same list from my son's preschool. :) #6 (for preschoolers) is my personal goal for the week. I'm going to volunteer and spend some time actually watching, and supporting, my little man "at work." :)

Ali, this is HUGE here in MN. Wonderful link!

List lover here, too...and this one is great. Always great to have a reminder of what more we can do! :)

Ali, thanks so much. This is extremely helpful for me. I'm always looking for info to help out with Chris.
BTW, I took your challenge.... Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up, a good list for everyone. Now for something totally unrelated, did you finish reading, "Reading Lolita in Tehran?" Just want to know what you thought of it. My bookclub is thinking of picking it for our next read. Thanks!

You are such an awesome mom! I love reading your blog, even though I lurk way more than comment. *blush* Just had to tell you that I think you are super!

Ali, I'm excited to see someone mention the 40 assets. I spent about 3 years writing about them (in between crime stories.. lol) for the local paper after communities in our area started up programs to encourage asset building.
Interesting stuff! Wish more people know about them.
