This paper looks at the grand challenge of ensuring healthy development for all youth. The initiative for this grand challenge is to examine the effects of preventative interventions to prevent behavioral health problems in young people (Hawkins, et al., 2015). This paper will look at preschoolers and examine the effects of homelessness on a child's ability to build a bond with their parent. Homelessness has particularly adverse effects on children and youth including hunger, poor physical and mental health, and missed educational opportunities (American Psychological Association, n.d.). This paper will take a different look at homelessness; homelessness is traumatic for children and parents. It is a disrupter of the ability for parents and preschoolers to build a secure attachment/bond. Reaching 4 the Sky will be a training program comprised of a series of workshops for parents and preschoolers both together and apart that will be designed to empower parents and increase their knowledge about healthy relationships with their children despite the surrounding stressors. It will analyze the developmental attachment perspective and help parents understand the central tasks of parenting a preschooler, including emotion regulation, fostering of a child's autonomy, play skills, parenting strategies, all with an eye towards how homelessness can compromise a parent's ability to complete these tasks. Reaching4 the Sky's curriculum, workshop set-ups, and facilitators/educators' styles will shape the development of overall developmental, behavioral, and mental empowerment in parents and their preschoolers. Placing this program within county public libraries will make this a collective and collaborative responsibility for all.
