Challenging Behavior in Young Children: Understanding, Preventing and Responding Effectively, 4th Edition

Stressing that every child has some kind of special need, especially children with challenging behavior, this book contains numerous practical, indispensable tips for responding to those needs, building relationships with children and their families, and preventing challenging behavior. It provides teachers with background information that enables them to understand why children behave the way they do and presents several evidence-based strategies to address their challenging behavior effectively so that teachers can select those best suited to the child and the situation.

Useful to education students as well as in-service teachers in pre-school, child care, and primary school, the book emphasizes the importance of the teacher's role in the behavior of children and encourages students and educators to reflect on their own values, feelings, and actions.

A new edition of the acclaimed, best-selling survival guide for teachers struggling to find answers to children's challenging behavior. In addition to up-to-date research on culture, dual-language learning, resilience, and inclusion, this new edition focuses on what stress can do to children's brains, executive function, and behavior.
