Researchers at Search Institute have identified 40 good things all kids need in their lives. Called Developmental Assets, they include a loving family, a caring neighborhood, self-esteem, and a commitment to learning. Requested by parents and teachers, supported by data, the Adding Assets series empowers kids ages 8 to 12 to build their own assets. Each book includes meaningful, appealing, age-appropriate ideas kids can try at home, at school, in their neighborhood, in their faith community, and with their friends.

Social and emotional competence is key to success in school and in life. Young children need to learn how to deal with their emotions, make positive choices, solve problems, resolve conflicts, resist impulsive behavior, form relationships, work cooperatively, and more. Our Learning to Get Along series can be used in home and childcare settings, schools, and special education, including settings with children on the autism spectrum. Written for ages 4 to 8 and meant to be read aloud, each book focuses on a specific social skill and includes a special section for adults. All are positive, practical, and realistic—just what you’d expect from a Free Spirit series.

Crimes discussed include forgery, obscene conduct, defamation, vandalism, gang related crimes, gambling, theft, underage drinking, drug and weapon possession, hacking, cyberbullying, sexual harassment, rape, hate crimes, arson, threats, and violence. Each book offers discussion points, tips and advice, detailed resources, emergency hotlines, and probing questions for further reflection.
