PROSPER and Relationships

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.

Relationships: The Role of Family in Supporting the Building of Relationships

Relationships are a big part of growing up and feeling happy. They help children feel safe, loved, and confident. As parents, you can support your child by creating special family time - like playing games, cooking together, or going for walks. These moments help children learn how to connect with others. Encourage your child to spend time with friends, join clubs, or play team sports. These activities help them practice sharing, listening, and working together. Talk to your child about being kind, saying sorry, and understanding how others feel. These are important skills for building strong friendships. When children feel supported at home, they are more likely to build healthy relationships at school and in the community. Your time, attention, and encouragement help your child feel connected and cared for—and that’s the best foundation for growing strong, positive relationships.
