What will be an ideal response?
Many families have serious questions about their children’s development and may share their fears about some aspect of their child’s abilities or behavior, questioning whether it is “normal.” Families may also use their participation in an early childhood program as a basis for comparison, wondering why some of the children in the class have mastered a specific developmental task while their child has not yet reached that milestone. Early childhood teachers are in a good position to calm the family’s fears or, if appropriate, to refer the family to a community professional for further assessment.
