A Recipe for Success
A strong family that supports successful children has three essential components: 1) loving and nurturing relationships; 2) financial stability; and 3) positive connections to other people, organizations and opportunities.
This report advocates a simple premise: Strong families = positive outcomes for children. Its tip-packed text spells out what policies, programs and practices are working right now to help low-income households succeed. It also challenges readers to think bigger — nothing short of systemic and cultural change — to give America’s most vulnerable families a fighting chance at a brighter, better tomorrow.
The stakes are incredibly high. America’s future hinges on the capacity of our children to one day contribute to our nation’s economic success. If we fail to invest in family strengthening today, younger generations may struggle to meet their civic responsibilities of tomorrow.
