behavioral health in pre-K and elementary students  

Definition

  • Behavioral health for children in pre-K and elementary school is impacted by a number of developmental considerations as remarkable growth occurs in a variety of domains and children are presented with new social and academic challenges. Changes in caregiving environments occur as children transition into school, expanding their social relationships in developing and maintaining close friendships and peer relations, and their interactions with teachers.
