The Search Institute has identified the building blocks of healthy development that help young people grow up healthy, caring, and responsible. The Cougar Corner will list 2 of these 40 Developmental Assets each week for the next 20 weeks. One of these assets is "Creative Activities." The Institute reports that for healthy development, young people should spend at least 3 hours a week in lessons or practice in music, theatre, or other arts. Another asset is "Youth Programs." Healthy young people spend 3 or more hours per week in sports, clubs, or organizations at school and/or in the community.
