This family-focused edited volume provides practical, classroom-based suggestions for coping with challenging behaviors in early childhood settings. Aimed at pre-service and in-service early childhood educators, the book aims to provide assessment and intervention tips that can be tailored to each individual child and classroom situation. The book's secondary purpose is to create linkages between developmentally appropriate curriculun and instructional practices and effective behavioral interventions. The chapter authors use recent research in the field and their classroom-based experiences to provide practical advice. Vignettes are used throughout the text to illustrate examples of children's behaviors and effective strategies for overcoming challenging behavior. The chapters are organized around common questions educators face and include checklists that can be used to assess current childcare practices.
