Assessment tools to address behavior concerns

Please make sure you respond to the information sent to you on 12/10 (email) prior to Christmas break regarding current assessment tools and practices in your zone for evaluating preschool age children with behavior concerns.

Reactions to Deployment

Infants, toddler's and preschooler's (0-5 years):
Infants sense or absorb emotions from their parents. Young children can often feel more than they can explain or understand. This article tells about the reactions to deployment and the developmental needs in understanding development.


For more information on deployment and it's impact, please check out Linda Linn's 12/14 email - ICNs for Educators

Literature Resources for Military Families

Please note that there are several children's books about military families; this list should be shared with teachers, families and other community members who may want to purchase or access them through local libraries. (attached to email)

Military Families

I've attached an article that might be helpful to share with some families that addresses trauma events such as deployment, death, and homelessness, sad but realistic situations for some.
