Do you know a kid who is a couch potato? Maybe she spends all of her time on the computer. Does he need ideas for places to go instead of just sitting around?
Smart ways to spend your time has just that! Ideas are suggested, commercial-like, inside vignettes featuring kids who are also in need of adding the asset of constructive use of time in their lives. Ideas are offered in topics: At Home, At School, In Your Neighborhood, In Your Faith Community, and With Your Friends.
This book is part of a series called The Adding Assets Series for Kids. Each book in the series focuses a few of the 40 Developmental Assets that researchers have identified as necessary for kids to have in their lives.
