EMPOWERMENT
Focus should be on supporting families
The factors that may lead to long-term difficulties can and should be
identified in the first years of the child's life.
Prevention of behavior problems should be a conscious target for all
families and service providers from the first year of life.
These services may provide a lifeline for families managing very
dependent or difficult children and, without such services parent
illness or stress may result in a need for permanent residential care for
a child.
