PROSPER @ home: Supporting Engagement

PROSPER lays the foundation for how we live, learn and grow as a community, using a common language. We encourage families to incorporate some of the PROSPER principles into their daily lives.

Engagement: The Role of Family in Supporting Engagement

Spending quality time with your child or teen helps them feel connected, curious, and confident. One of the best ways to do this is through shared activities that spark interest and joy. For younger children, try hobbies like painting, gardening, baking, or puzzles. Spend time outdoors walking, exploring nature, or playing games together— these moments help build focus, creativity, and calm.

As children grow older, their interests may change, but your involvement still matters. Try cooking meals together, working on DIY or tech projects, or exploring photography, music, or sports. Encourage them to take the lead in planning family outings or learning something new together. Even simple things like watching a movie, going for a hike, or having a chat over coffee can strengthen your bond.

These shared experiences help children and teens feel valued, supported, and engaged—building confidence and connection that lasts a lifetime.
