The National Scientific Council on the Developing Child stated in 2008: “culturally influenced differences are widespread across a variety of domains that affect approaches to the sensitive issues of emotional well-being and mental health in the early childhood years. These include how children are taught to interpret and express their experiences of fear, anger, and shame; parents’ attitudes toward discipline; the relative reinforcement given to individual achievement versus interdependent behavior; attitudes about mental health and mental illness; and acceptance of therapeutic intervention for very young children by non-family members, including mental health consultation.”
