Build a Strong Family

Strong families are a result of

  • Positive actions,
  • Loving words,
  • Caring people, and
  • Safe homes, day cares, schools and neighborhoods.

Each member of a strong family feels

  • Loved,
  • Respected, and
  • Valued.
They have a good self image.

Parents can plan and work to build a strong family.


The Search Institute provides an assessment program to help you. They studied strong families and found 40 assets they share. These “assets” are on their webpage: www.searchinstitute.org.

Parent Help Line provides easy-to-read worksheets for many of these assets. Use these worksheets listed below. Put a check by the assets your family already has. One at a time, work on an asset you lack.
