Strong families give children a secure base from which to explore and enjoy life as they grow up. They help to build resilience and mutual respect across the generations, thus helping to strengthen communities. Confident, supportive parenting has a significant beneficial effect on children’s outcomes Why supporting the whole family? • What happens within the family has more impact on children’s wellbeing and development than any other single factor[1]. • The relationships parents have with their children are strongly associated with the children’s outcomes[2] • Positive and consistent discipline and ongoing parental involvement and support are associated with better behavioural and educational outcomes in children[3]. • Children with highly involved fathers develop better friendships and more empathy and have higher levels of educational achievement and self esteem[4].
