Screening infants and toddlers every six months and preschoolers once a year is a reasonable monitoring schedule. And, children can be screened at any point if a parent expresses concern. A: It is advisable to monitor children over time, considering the rapid social-emotional changes that occur in children between birth and 6 years of age. Parents also have different needs at different stages of a child’s development. For example, some parents are very comfortable and at ease about parenting infants but begin to feel challenged when their child becomes a toddler and strives for independence. In addition, any change in children’s homes, schools, or health status may greatly affect their social-emotional development. For these reasons, continued social-emotional screening is recommended. A: It is considered best practice for a program to obtain parental consent prior to conducting screening. Early learning programs should establish clear guidelines regarding parental consent. Written consent may not be required for screening tools completed by parents as parent participation indicates consent. However, it is always important to share information with parents about a universal screening program; some programs include information in a parent handbook while others send home written materials ( [see sample materials for ASQ](https://www.agesandstages.com/asq-parent-resources/)). A: A parent or caregiver has the right to deny participation in a screening program. As a teacher, you should share information about the importance of child development and universal screening, but the final decision remains with the parent or caregiver. If a parent refuses to participate, you may want to offer screening again in a few months. A: A universal screening program where all children are screened on a regular basis can be helpful for these parents because individual children are not being singled out. Providing information about healthy social-emotional development to all parents can also help establish a general awareness about the issue. Also, using a parent-completed screening tool helps engage parents as it relies on their feedback and input and provides a starting point for discussion about any potential issues. A: Children’s behavior frequently varies between home and school settings. Using a screening tool that elicits parent input about behavior at home can be enlightening for teachers. It may also be beneficial for both parents and teachers to complete the screening tool. Then, results can be shared and any issues regarding behavior in different settings discussed.
