Experts are focusing more money and attention on the health of young children in Connecticut in an effort to prepare them to be successful in school later on.  The efforts include developmental screenings at child care centers, home visits and information hotlines for parents, better collaboration with pediatricians and more support for preschool staff members dealing with emotional and behavioral issues.

The idea is that if a child's basic health needs aren't met, he or she won't be able to keep up with academic and social expectations in school.

With new state law effective July 1, 2015, out-of-school suspensions are banned for young children up to second grade. This law makes good sense. It gets us focused on addressing underlying learning, behavioral and mental health issues. Schools need to address these issues today, making way for better outcomes for kids throughout their school careers. Our elementary schools, however, now face a new set of  challenges.
