Children’s Social & Emotional Development
Children with challenging behaviors are at greater risk for abuse.
Identifying and working with children early to keep their development on
track helps keep them safe. Helping children develop socially and
emotionally also impacts the way parents and children interact.
Early care and education programs can help a
child learn to understand and cope with such feelings as anger,
happiness and sadness. They can work with parents to help them build
positive relationships with their children.
