Families and parenting adults are vital to young people’s learning and development. Yet it can be challenging to engage with families, especially as young people enter middle and high school. Engaging Families: A Relationships-Centered Approach provides a positive youth development perspective and focuses on the developmental relationships that help young people grow and learn.
We use the insights from our research as a springboard to reimagining family engagement to focus on identifying and celebrating the strengths of families through developmental relationships. It presents practical strategies that can work in classes and groups to nurture young people’s resilience and thriving.
