Middle Childhood Matters:
A Framework to Promote the Healthy Development of Children 6 to 12
The Middle Childhood Matters Group was the result of a collaboration between the Network and United Way Ottawa. This time-limited group developed a research-based assets framework useful for anyone interested in promoting the healthy development of children age 6 to 12.
Grounded in evidence-based research, including the Search Institute's developmental assets framework (www.search-institute.org), the framework focuses on four key elements and some of their influencing factors that enhance and contribute to children's overall health and well-being.
