“What to Expect and When to Seek Help: Bright Futures Developmental Tools for Families and Providers offers a framework for families and providers to begin a conversation together about how best to support healthy social and emotional development in children. Resources are offered in four age ranges, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood and adolescence. Throughout the tools, a strong emphasis is placed on strengths as well as concerns. The information under "What to Expect" not only offers a guide to healthy development and parenting, but provides information that parents can find reassuring about their child's behavior and their own parenting. Bright Futures is a national health promotion initiative based at Georgetown University.”
