  • I’d use the sandwich method, begin by highlighting the child’s strengths and positive qualities, Frame the screening as part of a shared goal to support the child’s growth—not as a criticism, then describe what you’ve noticed factually, without labels or assumptions, next Normalize Developmental Screening by Emphasize that screenings are a <em node=”[object Object]” style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>routine part of supporting healthy development, then Listen and Invite Input and end with Reassurance and Support by emphasizing your commitment to the child’s well-being.
