2. ‘While the positive youth development approach
recognises the existence of adversities and
developmental challenges that may affect children
in various ways, it resists conceiving the
development process mainly as an effort to
overcome deficits and risk. Instead, it begins with a
vision of a fully able child eager to explore the
world, gain competence, and acquire the capacity to
contribute importantly to the world.”
Damon, cited in Farruggia and Bullen, 2010, p.144)

6. However …
0 Development in PYD is problematic
0 The foundation of theories often equates to the reality of
initiatives
0 The dichotomy between spiritual and physical
0 The place of risk and deficit
0 The role of policy
0 So, the role of reflection is essential
0 Double-loop reasoning should be encouraged
0 An understanding of the root of inequality is important
0 Passion, Intention and Evidence base is often where it is at
Process writing in the 1980s – freedom in writing with the hope that students would learn how to write by loving the process of writing – result; many students did love writing but actually didn’t learn how to writeRules like grammar were left outProblems were often unidentified – and students would struggle later on in lifeThe lesson learnt was that writing must be intentional and lessons around writing had to serve an intentional purpose Writing needed to meet the needs of young people and in order to help them develop further – writing had to skill children with the rules and techniques for successSo it had to address needs to be future focused
So,Write down the some aims of programmes you have been involved inOn a balance scale – where is the intent – is it in the intervention side or the development sideWhere is prevention?
For eachHow is this PYDWhat could make it interpreted as non-PYDWhat is the evidenceWhat are your reflectionsAre these initiatives intentional
