The goal of every community is to have as many children as possible experience positive outcomes, or resiliency. Child outcomes can be thought of as a scale with positive experiences that promote health and development on one side and negative experiences, or risk factors that derail healthy development in those early years and contribute to challenges and problems for children, families and communities down the road on the other side.
Participation in programs such as Parents as Teachers offers significant effectiveness factors that can make a difference for children including improved health and development and a strong foundation for success in school. In fact, children who participate in Parents as Teachers are more advanced at age three in language, social development, problem-solving and other cognitive abilities.
