There is strong evidence that parents’ wellbeing, including physical and mental health and economic security, strongly influences children’s development. Likewise, children’s wellbeing affects parents’ success in school and the workplace. But far too often, public policies divide the needs of parents from their children. That’s why CLASP advances two-generation policies and reforms that address children’s and parents’ needs together as a family. This helps families meet immediate needs while preparing children for future success.
