parent child relationship guest Gene RoehkepartainFor decades, Search Institute has studied assets that are most important for helping children and teens grow up well. In their latest study, they examine the importance of five key strategies in developmental relationships in the family:

1) Express care

2) Challenge to grow

3) Support

4) Share power

5) Expand possibilities

 

Tune into this week’s Mom Enough show to hear Gene Roehlkepartain discuss how these strategies benefit children, which are most often missing in the families Search studied, and what you can do to apply these important parent-child relationship findings for your child’s lifelong success.
