How Families Can Support their Child’s Social and Emotional Development

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Healthb (IECMH), also known as social-emotional development, is just as important as physical health to a child’s well-being. Without support, even the youngest kids can suffer from mental health issues, disorders and conditions. Parents play an important part in building your babies’ social-emotional strengths.

In partnership with First 5 Association of California, Para Los Niños and Best Start Region 1, we are releasing a new community resource: “How Families Can Support Their Child’s Social and Emotional Development.” This community resource is intended to help parents, caregivers and family members of infants and toddlers support their child’s early mental health and social-emotional development.
