ParentFurther, a new online resource for families from Search Institute, helps parents do just that: parent further. Instead of focusing on the problem or what is wrong with our kids, ParentFurther provides positive, strength-based parenting advice that highlights what is right with kids AND parents.

It is the only parenting site based on Search Institute’s Developmental Assets® which are forty common-sense, positive qualities and experiences that help influence the choices young people make. By combining the assets with the power of positive parenting, ParentFurther provides innovative and successful approaches to a wide variety of topics relevant to families.

Visit ParentFurther for the parenting Tip of the Day or sign up for the Everyday Parenting newsletter.

Make a difference with ParentFurther:
• Catch kids doing good things! Remember to acknowledge the things you appreciate about your children, not just correct misbehavior.
• The next time you have a dilemma, ask your kids to help you think about solutions. Their beginners’ minds might be just what you need.
• Be your kids’ hero by always doing what you think is right and best, even when it’s very, very hard to do.
