A Handbook for Childhood Professionals

Promote the mental health of preschool children by providing nurturing environments and relationships. Common Psychological Disorders in Young Children is an easy-to-use guide that will help you recognize and deal with the symptoms and behaviours associated with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and other disorders you may face in your centre. Learn to notice behaviours that may require referral for diagnostic screening and, for children already diagnosed, understand the reason a child might be exhibiting certain behaviours and how you can best help the child within your setting. Information is included on causes, symptoms, behaviour, medications, classroom and child care setting strategies, and communicating with parents.
