We know you genuinely care about young people. It’s why you do what you do! But research makes an important distinction: although caring about kids is a great start, it’s not enough.
In the same way that a tree’s roots need nutrients from different parts of soil to grow healthy and strong, young people grow and thrive when they have positive, intentional relationships with multiple adults in their life.
Developmental relationships help young people forge identities, learn new skills, and strengthen the roots of their success, so they can withstand the storms of life. Family members, teachers, school administrators, coaches, program leaders, and others can help young people figure out who they are and who they can become.
