This resource was developed by the Social-Emotional Health Advisory Committee to ECIC. It is a basic guide for parents who want to help their young children (birth to age five) to be socially and emotionally healthy so they can succeed in school and life. The guide addresses the following questions: What is social-emotional health? How does it affect school readiness? How can I tell if my child is socially and emotionally healthy? What can I do to support my child’s social-emotional health? How does discipline affect social-emotional health? What if I have concerns about my child’s social-emotional health? Where can I learn more about social-emotional health?
