Helping Kids Bounce Back: What do we know about how the Community Effects Kids?
Even growing up can be a tough things to endure! Making it through tough times and being able to bounce back is a skill. Children have to learn this skill and it takes the entire community to help kids learn to cope and feel supported as they grow up. Communities that care can complete the circle of caring.
There are risk factors within the community.
They are:
- Long work hours for parents or working teens that make it so families cannot connect with each other in a meaningful way each day
- Poverty or tough budget times
- Permissive community laws and norms that don’t let children know there are rules to live by
- Low neighborhood connections, community disorganization, high mobility
- Media influences
How can communities protect children and families?
- Helpfulness found in the work place and community at large
- Support of family-school collaboration
- Social networks
- Availability of human resources
- A general attitude of positive caring and support
- High community expectations
- Youth valued as a resource and contributor
- Religious options
- Ways for citizens to support each other and work together
- Evidence of Interdependence – different parts of the community working together and referring to each other to benefit families
- Shared responsibility and collaboration, peer support networks
Sometimes there are programs set up, but the leaders do not assure people are comfortable participating. Strong community systems assure that:
There are strong linkages between settings, woven together
Easy entry into a new setting is made in the company of one or more persons with whom one has participated with in other settings
Two-way communication exists between settings
Families are included in the communications network
Communications between settings is personal or face to face
