Addressing Challenging Behaviors in Early Childhood Settings

This complete professional development package gives educators the practical help they’ve been waiting for. Taking a “big picture” approach to this critical topic, this book-and- CD set illuminates the diverse influences on challenging behavior—including temperament, preferences, home life, and peer relationships—and arms teachers with the tools they need to create powerful solutions. Building on up-to-date research and their experience in early childhood education, the expert authors show teachers how to improve behavior.

 

Going beyond the “one size fits all” strategies, this resource empowers teachers to assess their students’ specific needs and choose the solutions that will work best. Educators will get more than 60 tools and worksheets that help them analyze their current practices, collect information about the child’s behavior and temperament, build stronger relationships with parents, and much more. With this hands-on guide to classroom harmony, teachers will provide positive, customized behavior support to young children with and without disabilities—and ensure that all students stay safe, engaged, and ready to learn.
