Uncover the Roots of Challenging Behavior: Create Responsive Environments Where Young Children Thrive - Paperback
by Michelle Salcedo (Author)
Teach social skills and enrich classrooms to reduce problem behaviors and nurture growth.
When teachers create environments that teach skills rather than punish individual actions, they reduce behavior problems and nurture the growth of all learners. This book expertly guides early childhood teachers to analyze their classroom elements, routines, and responses to children. Much like gardeners who adjust soil, water, or fertilizer to help flowers bloom, educators of young children must look beyond challenging behaviors to what a child's actions are communicating about her learning environment or home life. Digital content includes all forms from the book along with a PDF presentation.
