Pre-school & kindergarten; Teaching of students with emotional & behavioural difficulties

Drawing on her extensive practical experience, Liz Williams provides a highly accessible and much-needed guide to promoting positive behaviour in early years settings.

In this book, she explains why children may act in the

way that they do and how behaviour should be understood differently in children of different ages. She demonstrates that social and emotional capacities differ greatly in these crucial development years and how this impacts on the support needed at each stage. The book considers a host of factors influencing positive behaviour, such as environments and the importance of planning, and looks beyond the child to show the vital role that staff and parents have in promoting appropriate behaviour.

Written in clear and understandable language, this book is full of ideas that early years workers can easily implement in their day-to-day work.
