In an engaging, reader friendly style, Dan Gartrell describes developmentally appropriate guidance in the encouraging classroom. With this approach, teachers think beyond the kind of conventional classroom discipline that aims merely to keep children in line - and often fails even to do that! Shows teachers how to help children develop lifelong skills such as mutual acceptance and cooperation, creative and peaceful problem-solving strategies, and acceptable ways to express difficult emotions. Includes a special chapter on guidance with boys. A valuable aid in learning to understand and manage childhood behaviours. The valuable guidance concepts presented have earned the book the honour of being selected as a comprehensive member benefit of the US National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) for 2003.
