Review:
Kids who build assets and connections with home and community have more of a chance to succeed in later in life than those whose parents indulge them and try to provide the assets themselves: this is the message of a strong title encouraging parents to work with the community. Enjoy a book based not on theory, but on a nationwide study; and which presents not generalities; but 50 proven paths for success. -- Midwest Book Review
