Family Enrichment
It is hard to know where to start. BYU offers so many resources for families.

Whether you reside near BYU or somewhere else in the world, here are some resources for family enrichment:

Helps for Parents
The School of Education continues to be a resource to you and your family. Research on how to raise responsible children has been summarized in a new video presentation encouraging parents to improve their communication and teaching.

“You Can Do This: An Approach to Raising Wonderful Children” was first made available in the McKay School of Education alumni magazine, McKay Today.

A Web site provides additional resources for making use of the principles discovered and proven in the research. Go to http://education.byu.edu/youcandothis to use these resources.

Family Expo

Family Expo, which features inspirational speakers much like Women’s Conference and Education Week but on a much smaller scale, is designed to strengthen families and to teach parents how to raise up a righteous posterity, helping to prevent the problems that often arise in modern family life. It is sponsored by the School of Family Life, Religious Education, the Alumni Association, and the Division of Continuing Education.
