40 Developmental Assets.
Tags:Last week a really smart lady named Karen sent me an email of support about Simon. In her email she included a link to the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assests. It is quite a positive resource, including a great page about how everyone can build assets and make a difference in the lives of kids. Cool, practical stuff to keep in mind.
I felt like it was a good reminder to me about my role as a parent. And I like lists. Something to print out and hang up as a reminder of simple things that can be done to help Simon as he grows.
And hey Cath - the Search Institute is in Minneapolis. That place is rockin.
Thanks Karen!

great site - karen rocks! ;) i felt pretty darn good about my parenting after i read through it. simon and your descriptions of him remind me SO much of my own son, jack. they sound so much alike. some of the same obsessions, the same kind of language explosions, being "awesome" ( a favorite descriptor here) - yep, they are a lot alike. and my jack is doing so great! i hope that you and simon experience the same triumphs that we do! :)
