“Only people change people; and the qualities required for this are the same as they have always been – we influence children if they like and respect us enough to want to be like us” (cyc-net.org, 56-1, June 2002). Research in resilience and neuroscience validates this wisdom. Secure attachments strengthen the brain’s capacity for emotional control and sound mental health. But relationship trauma is the prime risk behind problem behavior. Coercive behavioral management only deepens the disconnection. Profound changes come as a young person mirrors the positive behavior and values of caring adults and peers. Such transformation starts with changes in adult approaches and in the climates of organizations servicing children and youth. This journal issue highlights evidence-based strategies for building attachments that transform. Guest editor is John Seita of Michigan State University.
