Being able to understand and engage social interactions and emotions with self-regulation are learned skills.  These authors focus on developing these skills with preschool children as a means for helping them to better succeed in academics and relationships.  Topics include separation anxiety, attention-seeking, clingingness, advice to parents for how children are affected by 'screen time' and how to manage it, fun ways to say "Good-bye", attention concerns and daily functioning guidelines.Too often, such skills are engaged only when children display inappropriate or challenging behavior. It is important to differentiate between children misbehaving and children making a mistake.  Use this book to help children make friends and form relationships with others; to know, recognize and develop social and emotional skills for various ages; to spot red flags seen as more challenging behavior needing special help. Roberts and Hoover also encourage the need for school staff and parents to forge a partnership to help students with more challenging behaviors learn effective ways of dealing with their emotions on a day to day basis.  Many examples are given with suggested dialog speaking directly to parents' and caregivers' questions and concerns.
