可以的。help sb. from doing sth. 意为“阻止/防止/避免某人做某事”，from 还可以省略。这是help 的其中一个用法。又如：

I couldn't help her (from) crying aloud.

我没能劝得她不哭出声来。

help sb. from doing sth. 在意思上等于：

prevent sb. from doing sth.

stop sb. from doing sth.

keep sb. from doing sth.

【提示】这4个短语中，唯独keep sb. from doing sth.中的from不能省略（省略后意思就相反了：keep sb. doing sth.让某人一直做某事），其他3个都可以，而且意思不变。

这句话的含义是：

Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what is going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions.

【翻译】了解别人的感受对孩子们来说是个挑战（不是易事）。我们知道自己在想什么，但是其他人呢？能够理解别人会防止孩子误判情况、得出错误的结论。
