So This Is Normal Too?

Effective and practical solutions to respond to common skill lags and behaviour challenges. During the preschool years, children are beginning to gain cognitive skills and developing internal controls to regulate their emotions. While some young children may quickly learn these skills, other children may lack interest, find them difficult to perform, or exhibit challenging behaviours. Lags in skill development and challenging behaviours are normal but can still be improved upon. This book will help you identify and set goals for children who need more specific planning and support.
