posted on 2024-07-12, 21:50authored byJoanna Grace Phillips
This research examines the effects of an early intervention program named TOEGTHER: Growing Children's social and emotional skills. Many early-intervention programs have limited opportunities to develop parent -educator partnerships or cater for the diverse contexts of families. Therefore, the program is designed to help teachers, educators, and parents to grow children's social and emotional skills in a collaborative and contextually responsive way. This research has established a new intervention which develops collaborative partnerships based on understanding the family's individual context. The program's approach helps to ensure that early-intervention programs for teaching social and emotional skills to young children are inclusive and successful for all.
