The SEAM™ system also includes SEAM™ with Ages, an alternate version of the tool annotated with a helpful list of age ranges for each item. This version makes it easy to give caregivers general guidance on how social-emotional skills typically develop and where their child’s development fits on the continuum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSEAM™ Family Profile\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Family Profile assesses parent and caregiver strengths and helps identify areas in which they need more supports and resources to foster their child’s social-emotional skills. Like the main SEAM™, the Family Profile assessment includes three intervals—Infant, Toddler, and Preschool. Each interval measures four benchmarks key to a nurturing home environment: responding to needs, providing activities and play, providing predictable routines and an appropriate environment, and ensuring home safety. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of SEAM™ benchmarks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild participates in healthy interactions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild expresses a range of emotions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild regulates social-emotional responses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild begins to show empathy for others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild attends to and engages with others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild explores hands and feet and surroundings (for infants)\/demonstrates independence (for toddlers\/preschoolers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild displays a positive self-image\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild regulates activity level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild cooperates with daily routines and requests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild shows a range of adaptive skills\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSee which domain of school readiness in the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework this tool addresses.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brookes, Paul H.
