Young children need caring adults and positive environments.
Young children thrive in environments that are emotionally nurturing and supported by caring adults. Social-emotional development is crucial during early childhood, as it forms the foundation for how children understand themselves, manage feelings, and interact with others. By fostering these skills early, caregivers and educators can significantly influence children’s long-term well-being and success.”
The Protective Factors Framework
The Protective Factors Framework offers a valuable roadmap for strengthening families and communities as they support children’s growth. This approach identifies key elements such as parental resilience, social connections, and knowledge of child development, which are essential for creating stable and supportive environments. Through targeted strategies that enhance these protective factors, professionals can help mitigate risks and build a resilient, emotionally healthy next generation.
