Recent research clearly has established that many school-age children with language disabilities have significant socioemotional problems. These children likely make up a significant portion of the caseload of school speech-language pathologists. This article provides a perspective for recognizing, understanding, and treating the social behavior problems of children with language disorders who have or who are at risk for developing emotional or behavioral disorders. This view is derived from studies of social and emotional development of children who are normally developing and those who are socioemotionally challenged.

Background: Children in kindergarten are experiencing rapid growth and development. Supporting child development is not only the responsibility of the government but also the responsibility of parents, teachers and the surrounding community. Parents are expected to have a good understanding of the psychological child so that they can provide care and education that allows children to grow and develop according to their age. This study aims to determine the effect of parenting psychoeducation on the social and emotional development of pre-school children. Methods: This research used the method of "quasi experiment pre-post test with one group" with a total sample of 63 pre-school age children. Sampling was done using Non Randomized One Group Pretest Postest Design. Research data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23. Results: The results showed that preschool age children numbered 63 people consisting of 60.3% (38) people were male and the rest were female 39.7% (25). There was an increase in social development in preschool children whose parents received significantly higher parenting psychoeducation (p value 0,000) There was an increase in emotional development in pre-school children whose parents received significantly higher parenting psychoeducation (p value 0,000). Conclusion: The conclusion showed that there was a parenting psychoeducation effect on parents on social and emotional development of pre-school age children. Keywords: Psychoeducation, Social and Emotional Development, Pre School Children

Purpose Research shows that growing up in unsafe neighbourhoods is a risk for the social and emotional development of children. At Home in the Street (TOS) is a community intervention that aims to create a clear, decent and emotionally safe environment for children in neighbourhoods. This programme is implemented in many communities in the Netherlands. The purpose of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of TOS. Design/methodology/approach This study has a longitudinal (three waves), quasi-experimental design, which includes 644 children who live in either ten experimental or ten control neighbourhoods. The effects are examined by using the strengths and difficulties (SDQ) instrument and propensity score matching control techniques. Multilevel methods were used on multi-imputed data sets. Findings The intervention does not have a statistically significant effect on the social and emotional development of children. However, exploratory analysis suggests that it may have a positive effect if the intervention is used more intensively. Research limitations/implications Future research may be conducted for a longer period to identify more precisely the different effects of the intervention on the development in SDQ scores in relation to age and gender. Practical implications The intervention may be effective in the case of high programme quality. Developers should therefore continue to invest in programme quality. This also applies to other social interventions: in order to accomplish effective social investments, these should be combined with sound research, as shown in this study. Originality/value This study suggests that community interventions may be effective if used with particular regularity. The authors have also demonstrated that implementing this type of complex research is feasible if certain methods are used that help overcome these challenges.
