    What are some good ways to approach a parent about the developmental screening of their child?

    When approaching a parent about the developmental screening of their child, I would first make sure that I prepare a basic script of what I will say with my co-worker, as well as make sure I have evidence to display to the parents of the child’s progress. Then I would compare the child’s work with the knowledge I know about typical child development. I would also tell the parent that I only want to help their child and offer local resources if they are needed, to make sure that the parents know I only want to help their child as an early learning provider.
