This study examined why some preschool-age children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) showed deleterious outcomes and others appeared more resilient. Resilience, conceptualized as strengths in emotion regulation and prosocial skills, was evaluated using the Social Competence Scale developed by the Conduct Problem Prevention Research Group. The sample consisted of 56 mothers and their 4- to 6-year-old children exposed to IPV within the past 2 years. After controlling for relevant demographic factors, hierarchical regression analyses indicated that better parenting performance, fewer maternal mental health problems, and less severe violence exposure predicted better emotion regulation and prosocial skill scores, which in turn were negatively correlated with maladaptive child beha...

This Comment argues that the Act's language, principles, purposes, and implementing regulations suggest that the settings where a preschool child's nondisabled peers learn should be identified as that child's presumptive least restrictive environment. Examples of s...

There are many benefits children receive when they attend preschool," said Stella Ohnersorgen, director of the Child Development Center at the San Ysidro School District. "They acquire many skills they use when they start kindergarten.
"It is now the norm for California's 3- and 4-year-olds to spend at least part of their day in a center-based early care and education program," said Lynn Karoly, the study's lead author and an economist at RAND. "Unfortunately, relatively few of the centers we studied provide the types of high-quality early learning experiences that can help prepare children to succeed when they enter school."
"These findings should be useful to policymakers who are interested in improving the quality of early care and education programs in California," Karoly said. "T...
