Young children's behaviour explores prominent theories about behaviour, providing practical strategies to promote children's skill development, increase willingness to cooperate and safeguard children's emotional needs.

The techniques offered are consistent with the principles of high-quality care, ethical and just practice, and the broader educational goals of childcare centres and early childhood environments.

Young children's behaviour also provides enhanced coverage of socioeconomic and cultural issues, gender differences, and autism spectrum and attention deficit disorders.

Special features include:

• introductory section highlighting core concepts in each of the five parts
• easy-to-read and highly practical layout, including integrated vignettes and key concepts
• suggested further reading in each chapter and a thoroughly comprehensive bibliography.

About the author

Louise Porter is a prolific and successful author, a registered child psychologist in private practice and a former lecturer at Flinders University.

'I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to all early childhood practitioners. If you already work with the principles Porter outlines then you will find useful information about support systems and developing centre policies. And if you don't work in this way then you will be challenged to examine your basic assumptions and practices.'
