When children belong to a youth club, they gain a stronger sense of who they are as a person, an Ohio State University study has revealed.The study suggests that even small improvements in self concept go a long way toward keeping children out of trouble."The more kids participate in these clubs, the better self concept they have," said Dawn Anderson-Butcher, an associate professor of social work at Ohio State. "And then that self concept makes children less vulnerable to engaging in problem behaviors."
