5 Promises for Texas
All Texans have a role in building a brighter future for Texas by fulfilling these five promises to our state and its future—our children.
Kids need to be able to see a doctor, nutritious foods and exercise, and a healthy environment to thrive, right from the start.
Promise 2: Child Protection
Texas children must be safe from abuse and neglect. Those removed from their homes need support from caring adults.
Children in Texas need food, shelter, and the basic hope that comes with seeing their families free from economic strain.
Kids who make mistakes can turn their lives around, and Texas can prevent young offenders from growing into adult criminals.
From early in life, children’s brains develop rapidly. Tending to their minds and emotional needs is key to their growth.
It is not enough to effect change in only one aspect of a child’s life. The whole child has interconnected and overlapping needs.
