Challenging Behavior in Young Children presents in-depth background information and strategies to help preservice and practicing teachers understand, prevent, and address the behavior problems found so often in today’s primary schools and child care centers. The evidence-based techniques provided here–brought to life in vignettes drawn from Barbara Kaiser’s 30 years in the field–work with the most difficult behaviors and benefit every child in the classroom.

 

In this second edition, the authors of the best-selling book Meeting the Challenge offer new chapters on inclusion and relationships, as well as a totally revised chapter on positive behavior support and functional assessment, strong chapters on resilience, culture, and working with families, and updated material on the brain and bullying. The result is a comprehensive and indispensable resource for everyone who works with young children, from child care through grade 3.

 

Revue de presse

“What makes the authors' work so valuable is that it's as much about relationships as it is about strategies. Barbara has consulted with us at Family Communications about our “Challenging Behaviors” project. Now through this book, people who work closely with young children can benefit from what she and Judy have learned in their search to provide meaningful help to these children.”

- Fred Rogers, Creator and host of the PBS children's program, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood

“Wise but eminently practical. What you'll learn from reading this book will have a significant positive effect on you as a teacher and on the hundreds of children you will eventually touch.”

- Sue Bredekamp, author of Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs

“This textbook has been needed for a long time. It pulls together so many aspects of dealing with problem behavior and covers the field very well. It is up to date, accurate, and interesting to read. I particularly appreciate the fact that these authors are dealing with real children, real adults, and real situations.”

- Dorothy Hewes, San Diego State University

“The authors' scholarship and experience are evident throughout. The direct references to cultural sensitivity are extremely well done. The chapter addressing reflective teaching is also a welcome addition.... Multiple references to various theories and philosophies of intervention provide an effective and eclectic approach.”

- Diane E. Strangis, University of Florida

“Because this book really helps provide a framework for thinking about behavior, it is an extremely useful primary text for courses in elementary education.”

- Ed Greene, Montclair State University, NJ

“Full of good sense and good ideas. This book is clear, practical, sympathetic, and wise. It will be helpful to a great many parents and teachers and child care professionals, and to anyone else who spends time with or cares about children.”

- Lawrence Hartmann, M.D., Past President, American Psychiatric Association
