Asset #1 - Family Support

Asset #1 is on Family Support. You have this asset if you feel loved and supported in your family. Being close to your family is especially important, as is expressing that closeness in words and actions. Studies have found that family closeness helps prepare kids emotionally and socially for being independent and successful later in life. Remember to tell your parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters that they are important to you. Practice doing little things that demonstrate your love and appreciation for them. Do your part to make your home a warm, caring, comfortable, fun place to be. That's building the Family Support Asset. Remember: Assets Count.
