Enhance the social-emotional development of infants and young children with this treasure trove of learning activities, handouts, and more! Specially developed to complement ASQ:SE-2, this essential resource makes it a snap to share practical social-emotional strategies with parents of children from birth to age 6.
In this book and CD-ROM set, you'll get:
- Social-emotional learning activities. With more than 90 fun, developmentally appropriate activities—10+ per age range—you'll promote adult–child interaction and key social-emotional skills. Give them to parents after every screening to help children make progress in their social-emotional development.
- Newsletters for parents. Along with the activities, give parents a copy of the newsletter that corresponds to their child's age. Engaging and fun to read, these nine newsletters explain important social-emotional milestones, share tips on strengthening this area of development, and offer parents warm and encouraging words of wisdom.
- Topic-specific handouts. You'll get concise, age-specific handouts that answer parents' questions about three big topics important to social-emotional development: feeding, sleeping, and calming. Also included are tip sheets on special topics such as choosing child care, establishing routines, learning to use the toilet, preparing for kindergarten, and more.
- Hello, Parent! letter. Use this friendly letter to introduce the handouts to families and reinforce the importance of social-emotional development.
All materials are written at a fourth- to sixth-grade reading level to make them accessible to a wide range of parents. You can access and share the content in three easy ways: photocopy sheets right from the book, print full-color copies from the included CD-ROM, or share them with parents via email.
Perfect for sharing with families of children who are developing typically or need nonintensive support with their social-emotional skills, these creative activities are an effective, low-cost way for parents and children to learn and have fun together.
