Research
shows that children who are most likely to be suspended or expelled — children from low - income families, children of color, and children with certain disabilities — are also most likely to benefit from high - quality early education.10 Children from low - income families and children of color are more likely to experience multiple adverse childhood experiences (ACES), which can manifest as challenging behaviors that trigger suspensions or expulsions.11 Likewise, young children with language delays or trouble with self - regulation may struggle to verbalize appropriate responses to emotional or physical stimulation, and instead display inappropriate behavior.12 In both cases, appropriate evaluation and

shown to be successful in improving a range of outcomes including maternal psychosocial health32 and emotional and behavioural adjustment in children under 3 years of age.33 In the UK, the Sure Start project was launched in 1999 targeting preschool children and their families, in disadvantaged areas, with a number of
interventions including good quality play,
learning and child care.34 Recent evidence suggests that enrolled families
showed less negative parenting and provided a better home -
learning environment.35 The findings presented in this paper suggest that successful parenting
interventions may improve the transfer of cognitive skills between generations thereby protecting disadvantaged families from unintentionally placing their children at risk of being on a path of continual negativity.
