“Ask the Expert” is an opportunity for you
to submit questions you may have regarding social and emotional
development and your work related to infants and young children (ages 0
- 5) and their families. Questions may be related to policy, research,
practice or resources. We will choose questions to feature in each
issue, and they will be archived on our Web site for your future
reference. Questions may be edited for space and clarity, and names will
be used only with permission. E-mail your questions to
jhack@wiaimh.org.
Questions:
How can the system
meet the needs of young children in foster care while working within the
parameters of the law?
Can you spoil babies by responding when they
wake at night?
