About the Author
JOY BERRY is the bestselling author of more than 250 titles (85 million copies sold) that help parents tackle common parenting issues while they educate and empower toddlers to tweens (ages 1 to 12).
"My books teach the personal skills children need to take care of themselves, the social skills they need to develop and maintain positive relationships, and the coping skills they need to relate to things in positive rather than negative ways." --Joy Berry
Joy Berry's goal is to help kids help themselves by providing the information and motivation children need to lead responsible lives. Joy Berry began her career more than thirty years ago teaching in the Ontario and Arcadia school districts in Southern California. Concerned that the educational system wasn't teaching children all they needed to know, Joy began after-school and summer programs designed to teach children life skills. Around that time she began to write her unique brand of self-help books that matched her philosophy of raising responsible children.
Today, Joy is active in schools, community centers and other programs for children, and she continues to write new books and create multi-media for children of all ages.

More About the Author
Joy Berry is a highly successful, pioneering educator and child development specialist. She is also the bestselling author of Joy Berry books for children with more than 250 titles and 85 million copies of her books sold. Joy Berry's message has always been the same: Empower children by helping them become responsible so they can have the control over the lives that they want and need.
Simply put, Joy Berry knows and understands children.
As an administrator and educator, childcare provider, recreation and camp director, and teacher's aide, Joy began her public school career teaching the second, third, fourth, and fifth grades. She supplemented her teacher's salary by establishing and maintaining quality after-school and summer programs.
Dismayed by the politics and bureaucracy that often plagues public education, Joy decided to begin her own school. She created a highly acclaimed preschool and daycare center. Several years later, she created a second preschool and daycare center that grew into one of the top three infant-through-early-elementary private schools in Southern California.
Joy's experience led her to conclude that in addition to academic subjects, children need to learn life skills which traditional education could not provide. The light bulb went on when she was asked to talk to a boy who was flunking out of school. She visited the boy at his house, and what she found was astonishing. Located in the back yard there was a tree house that spanned three trees. The structure was home to The Tree House Club--a popular neighborhood group put together and managed by the boy. Under his very capable leadership, the club members participated in a plethora of innovative, profitable, moneymaking projects. Although not successful in school, this boy was running a business while keeping track of its earnings, expenses, and profits using a comprehensive bookkeeping system.
She joined The Tree House Club to better understand kids. While a member, she discovered who children really are and what they really want and need to learn. And so together, Joy and the boy began teaching classes on practical subjects such as money management and time management. Joy discovered that the materials needed to teach children living skills were non-existent and she began filling the void by creating and developing materials that speak directly to children about everyday life issues.
Embarking on a lifetime mission to help children, Joy spoke out about modifying conventional perceptions and traditional approaches to education. She left the school system and began writing books, music, television and radio programs, and other supplemental materials that teach children about life skills.
"Children should be 100% responsible for all of their choices and decisions by the time they are 12 years of age. Parents need to encourage their children to make as many choices as possible as early in their lives as possible", says Joy Berry.
Joy's understanding of children and her pragmatic approach to educating and empowering children, has given rise to one of the most extensive juvenile product lines in the world.
Joy is a frequent media guest and speaker. She has been on many national television shows, and has been featured in national magazines and newspapers. She has spoken at book publishing, library, toy and bookseller associations in the US and abroad. She also speaks at national education and parent/ teacher's associations.
Joy Berry has a lifetime teaching credential as well as an administrative credential. She holds advanced degrees in Human Development and Education.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
By djonn "djonn" (Toronto, On) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Needing Attention (Let's Talk About...(Scholastic)) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book.Buy it before it goes out of print! I have two books in this series and would like to purchase more but they are OUT OF PRINT. This is one of the few books that teaches children about developing good character traits without being preachy or condescending (or resorting to "fairy tales" - - things that happened in a faraway place and time which have no bearing on today). The children can relate and they enjoy the stories.

another good self help book by Joy Berry,
By A Customer
This review is from: Needing Attention (Let's Talk About...(Scholastic)) (Paperback)
5/22/03 The book " Needing Attention"(copyright 1996) explains to the child(ren) why they might feel the need to get attention;reviews the wrong ways they might do so(e.g. complaining,tattling,teasing) and the right ways to get attention without actually saying the words "I'd like some attention".Some of the others(now out of print by Berry from the "Help Me Be Good Series"copyright 1988) use the same method in helping the child(ren) to understand ways to correct such habits as individual books on Tattling,Lying,Interrupting,Throwing Tantrums,Teasing,Fighting,Breaking Promises,Being Bossy,Being Bullied..There are more to the out-of print series which can sometimes "show-up" at community flea markets as did the ones I purchased.

Let's talk about....,
By Angry Sigh "I'm not nice, but I am honest." (Manassas, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Needing Attention (Let's Talk About...(Scholastic)) (Paperback)
I really enjoy and recommend the entire "Let's Talk About..." series. They are above all concise and make it easy for you to explain to your child WHY a particular behavior is bad and shouldn't be continued. Bear in mind, however, that a child under four isn't really going to get it anyway and probably won't retain the information, so you may as well be talking to a wall. I recommend these for preschool and young elementary school age children. Any younger and they won't understand it, any older and they will (correctly) feel that these are "baby books."
