Présentation de l'éditeur

With child abuse and the need to manage children's behaviour very much in the public eye, parents, teachers and child care workers are conscious that they need to think carefully about how to deal with children who are aggressive. If they do not understand what is happening, they may react inappropriately and abuse children yet children can present a very real physical threat that requires adequate preparation and careful handling. Adults need to have a strong sense of their objectives and a grasp of basic techniques to meet any situation. This concise and practical book, written by an experienced practitioner, draws on recent research, as well as the author's own extensive experience. Alan Train explains the various theories on agreesion in children, the causes and manifestations of aggressive behaviour in different situations at home or in school. The adult needs to understand the child's point of view to take positive and constructive action, only then can they help the child towards a more positive interaction with the world around them and a strengthening of their self-esteem. The practical programmes presented here makes this book a valuable source for all parents and professionals.
