Young children need developmentally appropriate and nurturing responses from parents and teachers that will prevent more serious problems, repair problematic relationships, and help them develop the social-emotional skills they need to succeed in life.

Solution #1 Provide parent training

Parent training remains the single most effective strategy for preventing behavior problems and promoting social and emotional competence.

Solution #3 Provide children with social and emotional training
