This book describes how to implement social-emotional (SE) interventions with young children (birth to age 5) in their daily environments. The target audience is professionals who are working with families whose children may be at risk for SE difficulties, such as families living in extreme poverty and those who are experiencing mental health problems or substance abuse. Another target audience is early interventionists who are working with children who have an identified disability or who have experienced some biological risk (i.e., low birth weight, in utero exposure to drugs or alcohol).

The passage of No Child Left Behind rightly brought attention to the many children who are failing in school due to less-than-ideal experiences in their early years, although the legislation does tend to neglect the critical dimension of SE health. Children with these kinds of difficulties will likely fail to read and achieve later academic success. These are the children that this book will benefit.
