Young Children's Behaviour

"The premise for Young Children's Behaviour, 3rd edition, and the basis for the book's success, is that an adult's most powerful disciplinary tool is a caring relationship with children. The text provides a rationale to explain behavioural interventions and argues why some methods (such as punishment) should not be used. It provides a series of practical strategies for dealing with children's disruptive behaviour that are: consistent with the principles of high quality care and education; represent ethical or just practice; promote children's skill development; foster children's willingness to co-operate with others; safeguard children's emotional needs; and are congruent with the broader educational goals of the childcare or early childhood environment."--Provided by publisher.
