"When the mind is forming and learning, it is the most vulnerable. Understanding Early Childhood Mental Health is a guide for pediatricians and other health workers on understanding the mind of an infant and toddler and understanding the indicators of early mental health issues in children, as well as issues that parents face, fatigue, and much more. An important topic that isn't spoke often, Understanding Early Childhood Mental Health is a choice and recommended pick for health and psychology collections."

"Extremely well organized . . . The book keeps its promise to be a practical guide for practitioners and suggests actual strategies to put into practice. It also addresses issues related to supervision, program evaluation, and the larger organizational questions."

"A major step toward closing the gap between aspirations and realizations in promoting and protecting the mental health of our youngest children by helping the people who care for them develop the tools they need to offer a psychologically safer world from birth and beyond."
