Abstract:

Pre-school behaviour problems are now a significant public health issue and their prevention and treatment is a priority. The risks for pre-school behaviour problems are largely mediated by the family, and there are a number of significant developmental points at which it is possible to intervene to prevent pre-school behaviour problems beginning during pregnancy. This paper highlights some innovative approaches that are being developed and used in the UK to either prevent or treat pre-school behaviour problems, and the evidence pointing to their effectiveness.
