Date: 10/15/2011 Dear Parent of Kylie Lewis, Cassandra Newton filled out a checklist about your child called the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Preschoolers (DECA-P2). The DECA-P2 provides information about a child’s social and emotional health. We feel it is important to share this information with you because children’s social and emotional development is so important. By focusing and supporting children’s strengths, we can also help a child in any areas where extra support may be beneficial. The table below shows how Cassandra Newton rated your child on the DECA for DECA-P2s. This might or might not be what you are seeing at home. Sometimes a child behaves differently at home and at school because of differences in expectations, rules, schedules, etc…
Strength Typical Area of need
Initiative X Self-Regulation X Attachment/Relationships X
Behavioral Concerns X Our program recognizes the importance of promoting children’s healthy social and emotional skills and works to strengthen initiative, self-regulation, and attachment/relationships in all children. Scores in the strength range indicate that a child is showing many positive behaviors in this area and we should continue to encourage these behaviors. Scores in the typical range indicate that a child is displaying behaviors that are common at this age and we should continue to work on building these skills. Scores in the Area of Need range indicate that a child is not displaying these positive behaviors as frequently as we would like, and we should work together to build a child’s skills in that area. The last row shows the results of a behavioral concerns screener. If the behavioral concerns score is in the area of need range, this is information that deserves our attention and focus. Addressing behavioral concerns as soon as possible will help ensure that plans are put in place to reduce behavioral concerns and encourage the use of positive behaviors. After you review this information, please let us know if you have any questions.

Strengths for Living and Learning The following Strengths are important for children to develop early so that they have the skills for success in school and life.
INITIATIVE This is the child’s ability to try new things to and to do things for him/herself. You can see initiative grow very quickly at this age. You see it when she/he does not want you to help even if she/he seems to need it. You see it when he/she does something he/she would not even try just yesterday Grown-ups can help build this strength by letting him/her:
Take his/her time to figure out answers to problems. Try new things. Make mistakes and try again. Know that you “believe” she/he can succeed.
SELF-REGULATION This is the ability to have strong feelings, but then think before taking action or speaking. It helps a child choose right from wrong. With self-control, your child can tell you what is upsetting him/her without a tantrum. At school she/he will be able to ask for help, and not give up. He/She will find learning and getting along with other children will be easier. Grown-ups can help build this strength by:
Discussing what is helpful and harmful (rules). Letting them see you speak calmly when you are upset. Helping them say how they feel. Helping them to think about better ways to handle problems. Not expecting them to handle more than a preschool child can.
ATTACHMENT/RELATIONSHIPS This is the result of the child’s strong, healthy relationships. A baby learns to feel good about him/herself and trust people by the way he/she is taken care of. This strength is also the key to how the child feels about him/herself. It opens him/her up to try new things and look to others for friendship or help. Grown-ups can help build this strength by:
Taking care of the child’s needs. Enjoying their child’s company. Making sure they can count on you when you promise something. Cuddling, playing and reading with them. Protecting them from "scary" situations whenever you can.
