This April 2017 policy report shares how, despite the barriers to healthy development that poor children face, many of them have resilient parents who help them not just survive but thrive. The report explores common attributes among parents who are able to function well when faced with challenges as well as parenting styles most closely associated with positive social and developmental behavior in children. It uses data from more than 2,200 low-income families surveyed as part of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Recommendations for developing programs and policies that can enhance the well-being and life opportunities of both parents and their children are included.
