Youth Communities

A research on 7,000 young students and children in the United Kingdom is about how they participate in their communities, how they form values with character education, and what influences them the most. The outcome involves parents, friends, schools, and siblings, and researchers figure out which factors are essential and more important than others. Successful schools depend on the resources and support of their communities, and schools at the center of their communities are often the most successful schools. In turn, schools are vital to the social health of their local communities. Also, families are the first social unit in which children learn and develop. Good parenting can take different forms and be shaped by various social and cultural forces, but it invariably involves providing children with the support, care, love, guidance, and protection that set the conditions for healthy physical, mental, and social development. The research has also attracted attention and interest from many national policy makers and contacted me.
