Promoting the Well-Being of Children and Families

Jan 26, 2002

Most of us can?’t remember much about what troubled us when we were
toddlers, but that doesn?’t mean we should dismiss the emotional
challenges
of early childhood as insignificant or fleeting. This guide from the
National Center on Children in Poverty sets forth a framework for
community and state action to help families and caregivers address the
needs of emotionally at-risk children. Even in the face of limited
resources, the report argues that forging new alliances and building on
existing local and state assets can respond to an arena of child
development that has, from a public policy and practice perspective,
been
too long ignored.
