When growing up, most of the children in elementary school with me came from 'traditional' families, that is, they came from two parent homes in which one parent stayed at home and the other parent worked. Now we have children who come from families in which both parents working, in fact this situation seems to be the 'traditional' family these days. In addition, there was strong community support. By contrast, family ties today are far less maintained. Elementary students today lack the community support required to deal with academics, extracurricular activities and social challenges. For this reason, Boys & Girls Clubs are necessary in providing youth with a positive and safe place to go; a way to grow in a safe and caring environment.
