Promoting the Emotional Well-Being of Children brings togetherperspectives from a diverse range of practitioners. Their preventativeand early intervention approaches fit well with the Government'snational service framework for children and emphasise that youngpeople's mental health is "everybody's business" and points tomulti-agency services as the way ahead.

I thought thiswas particularly true of the chapters on child development, attachmenttheory and emotional regulation.
