Family and environment

Children need to feel safe and nurtured in their home environment. Throughout the course of childhood, children develop the ability to form positive relationships with peers and adults and to cope with adversities or set-backs they might encounter, thanks to the resources available in the family, at school, in friendships networks or in the community environment. Missing out on opportunities to develop strong social-emotional skills serves children a disadvantage as young adults in terms of various well-being outcomes.
