Preferred term

developmentally attentive communities  

Definition(s)

  • One of the central tenets of developmental theory is that young people grow up in multiple nested contexts: Self-processes, family, school and other organizations, neighborhood, and peer groups do not exist independently of each other but rather are overlapping and interconnecting influences changing over time. The occurrence of these intersecting contextual relationships is a developmental given; whether they are positive developmental influences is not.
