Full Description
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 one-sheets that answer parents’ urgent 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 email them to parents from the CD-ROM or through ASQ Online.
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.
