Ages: Grades K to 8

Format: softcover

Positive strategies to help those who work with children!

This book will challenge your assumptions about managing challenging behaviour in the classroom. It begins by emphasising, for each teacher, the importance of personal empowerment and positive beliefs, and then outlines a programme using specific strategies that:

  • Present new ideas for maintaining control in the classroom
  • Offer the “Big Toe First” approach to slowly modify behaviour
  • Provide a unique approach to building trust and rapport with children
  • Stress the importance of a rewards system

This is an ideal resource for new or veteran teachers, guidance counsellors, and administrators who need a fresh approach to behaviour management.
