These activities are perfect for sharing with parents of children who are developing typically or need non-intensive support in one or more developmental areas or with social-emotional skills.
These playful, developmentally appropriate activities

- use safe, age-appropriate materials that most families have at home
- help even the youngest children develop crucial early language and literacy skills
- promote closer parent–child interactions
- serve as a natural follow-up for children who score in the ASQ-3 monitoring zone
New additions include a new set of activities for 0–2 months; more activities—30+ per age range; more language and literacy activities; more language modeling for parents; easy to email PDF format to share with parents; more differentiation of activities by age; and activities are now in color on the CD-ROM. Plus, the book includes a keycode for accessing the activities in your ASQ® Online account.
Now packaged as a book and CD-ROM together so you can photocopy, print, and email them as needed, these creative, cost-effective activities are the perfect way for parents and children to learn and have fun together.

Specially developed to complement ASQ®:SE-2, this essential resource makes it a snap to share practical social-emotional strategies with parents of children from birth to age 6.
In this book and CD-ROM set, you’ll get:
- Social-emotional learning activities. With more than 90 fun, developmentally appropriate activities—10+ per age range—you’ll promote adult–child interaction and key social-emotional skills. Give them to parents after every screening to help children make progress in their social-emotional development.
- Newsletters for parents. Along with the activities, give parents a copy of the newsletter that corresponds to their child’s age. Engaging and fun to read, these nine newsletters explain important social-emotional milestones, share tips on strengthening this area of development, and offer parents warm and encouraging words of wisdom.
- Topic-specific handouts. You’ll get concise, age-specific one-sheets that answer parents’ questions about three big topics important to social-emotional development: feeding, sleeping, and calming. Also included are tip sheets on special topics such as choosing child care, establishing routines, learning to use the toilet, preparing for kindergarten, and more.
- Hello, Parent! letter. Use this friendly letter to introduce the handouts to families and reinforce the importance of social-emotional development.
All materials are written at a fourth- to sixth-grade reading level to make them accessible to a wide range of parents. You can access and share the content in three easy ways: photocopy sheets right from the book, print full-color copies from the included CD-ROM, or share them with parents via email or through
ASQ Online. These creative activities are an effective, low-cost way for parents and children to learn and have fun together.

“We chose ASQ because it is easy to do, low cost, culturally sensitive, and it meets our purpose of basic screening for our children’s development. Our infant teachers base their curriculum on each individual child based on the ASQ.”
