<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Supporting internalizing behaviors is an essential topic as we see a rise in anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal in young children.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The Play Prescription: Using Play to Support Internalizing Behaviors</i> explores internalizing behaviors such as anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal found in young children, ages 3 to 7. Behavioral symptoms are discussed, with a focus on child development and emotional competence. Dr. Liese discusses a range of research-supported interventions and prevention methods for children presenting symptoms and offers clear descriptions of educational strategies and implications for educators. In addition, sample handouts are included to send home to encourage parent support and involvement.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>The Play Prescription</i> takes one of the most complex issues early childhood teachers face--the battle between theory and practice--and makes it relevant, accessible, and rewarding while emphasizing the value of play and investigative learning." --Alexis Esslinger, EdS, director of teacher education programs, San Juan College <p/> "<i>The Play Prescription</i> is a rich and theoretically sound reference work for the essential role of play in the development of children--not as a vacation from learning and not as a reward for other 'productive' endeavors, but as the single most important support for normal child development." --Dr. George Davis, former vice chair for child psychiatry, University of New Mexico, and director of psychiatric services, New Mexico Department of Children, Youth and Families <p/> "Dr. Liese provides strong research and evidence to support the importance of play. Play is vital in the early years--as important as letter sounds, counting, and word recognition." --Jerome Boushee, MEd, Principal, Native American Reservation<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dr. Aerial Liese has a Ph.D. in Special Education and a minor in Mental Health and At-Risk Populations from Walden University.
