Dear parents,
We hope this web site will address your
present or future concerns about your child’s emotional
development.
Our primary goal is to encourage you to
bring those concerns early to the attention of your child’s
physician. All of us, as parents, need to be comfortable asking
for help. By so doing, you will gain the reassurance you deserve
or find appropriate guidance and support. You will discover
that as a family you have many natural strengths and have
already accomplished much in the course of your child’s
development. In addition, whatever you achieve now will assist
you as you encounter future challenges.
Your pediatrician, family physician, and
nurse practitioner have many talents and resources available
to them to help you solve your child’s problem. They are there
for you at times of crisis and may often be reimbursed by
your health plan if they provide such intervention.
You may wish to invite your child’s
pediatrician, or your family physician, to visit the doctors’
section of this web site. Between your physician’s knowledge,
your determination to succeed, and whatever insights this
web site may generate, we are confident that you and your
pediatrician will become effective partners in understanding
and enhancing your child's development.
Howard King and Melinda Strauss
