Emotion regulation skills should be mastered by early childhood, but
many enter school with mild or serious deficits that may not be
addressed effectively or early enough. This book presents in-depth
background and practical information on the subject so school
professionals can craft interventions that are developmentally
appropriate, relevant, and timely. Written for practitioners, the book
provides a unique combination of theory and background as well as
guidance on application and evidence-based interventions that can be
implemented immediately. Strategies are included for recognizing
specific skill deficiencies or more general needs. The book provides
solid support for school psychologists and other school-based mental
health professionals. With targeted training at the classroom, home, and
peer levels, children can achieve the vital skills they need for a
lifetime of social interactions.
