Abstract

Successful children do not develop in isolation. They are nurtured within families and integrated into vibrant communities with distinct cultures. This study seeks to benchmark and examine the practices of supportive socio-cultural environments fostering successful Malay children from families honoured with the Ibu Mithālī national award. Using a Grounded Theory in qualitative approach, five themes emerged: clean and rich environment, smart policy, wise leadership, supportive community, and strong family.

Keywords: Family well-being, successful children
