AI Summary
This concurrent resolution designates January 2026 as Positive Parenting Awareness Month in California, aiming to highlight the critical importance of parenting for children's well-being and societal health. The resolution acknowledges the diverse family structures in California and the significant economic pressures, such as rising housing costs and inflation, that strain parents' ability to provide quality care. It references a U.S. Surgeon General's advisory that found a high percentage of parents experience overwhelming stress, underscoring the need to prioritize parenting in policy and resource allocation. The resolution also points to research indicating that positive parenting is a protective factor that reduces adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and improves children's social, emotional, and behavioral health, while noting that parenting education, a proven strategy, is often underfunded. Ultimately, this measure seeks to encourage collective efforts from various organizations and government bodies to support parental well-being and strengthen family support networks.
