The Science of Relationship Building
All those who work with kids are being called to “be more relational” and to “build a meaningful relationship with every young person.” But what does this mean in practice? Is there a guide to building “meaningful relationships”? Can relationship skills be taught or do some individuals just have it naturally, while others don’t? New research shows that there are five core elements of relationships that accelerate social, emotional, and academic growth and that every adult can become relationally skilled.
