Information was gleaned from literature reviews, expert panels, and focus groups, to design a survey examining relationships in the schools, homes, and communities, and aspects of youth's lives associated with violence. The survey also asked youth to identify one change they would make to stop the violence they experience. Participating in the study were a sample of 1,012 fifth-through 12-graders in Colorado; a parallel study was conducted with a nationally representative group of 1,001 youths. This report presents findings from the Colorado sample with comparisons to the national sample. The major findings of the study follow: (1) to end violence, we must start with accepting one another and ending emotional violence; (2) emotional violence is part of many youth's lives; (3) physical and extreme violence are widespread; (4) there is a strong connection between emotional and physical violence; (5) cultural values celebrating one way to be "in" need to end; (6) a sizable proportion of youth call on adults to change the environment to help them feel safe; (7) children need strong relationships with their parents; (8) improving teacher-student relationships will help reduce violence; (9) improve relationships with friends; (10) improve the larger culture, addressing stress, family economic health, drugs, violence, and community improvement; (11) coping skills are important; and (12) youth need good relationships in, all aspects of their lives. The report delineates implications of these findings for parents, teachers, school, communities, and for government. The report's six appendices include selected data tables, data collection instruments, selected research and policy reports, selected resources, and programs addressing violence, diversity, and civic engagement. (Contains 18 references and 44 tables.) (KB) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

However, few studies have accounted for parents' EF skills when examining the link between parenting and child EF in families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In the current study, parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children ( N = 85 dyads) were assessed in the fall of preschool on well-validated behavioral assessments of EF and participated in a dyadic problem-solving task. We found that parent EF and child EF were correlated, both were associated with autonomy-supportive parenting, and these links were not moderated by socioeconomic status. Autonomy support was a predictor of child EF skills above and beyond parent EF, and bootstrapping mediational analyses confirmed that autonomy-supportive behaviors mediated the link between parent-child EF. These results provide initial evidence for the intergenerational transmission of EF through autonomy support.

Mind in the Making offers families and professionals working with children 0-8 access to developmental research, by engaging them in an active process of professional development and community outreach. Vroom is an outreach and communication initiative that brings "brain building basics" to communities, inviting parents to participate in the science of early learning through partnerships with trusted entities. These initiatives use collaborative, iterative processes in disseminating findings and implications of child development research. Preliminary evidence shows early promise of these initiatives to help promote engaged learning and life skills based on executive function in adults and children.
