Editorial Reviews

Review
The inclusion of points to remember, practical application, discussion questions, and related readings and web sites within every chapter is an excellent technique for focussing my reading and organizing my thinking. It makes it easy to review the material for study purposes.

The overarching strength of this textbook is that it strives to bring the theoretical and the practical together so that students can see both the "why" and the "how" of child guidance strategies at the same time. It is a very thorough compilation of all of the topics, principles, and concepts related to guidance. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Behaviour guidance is about developing self-control!, October 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Positive Child Guidance (Paperback)

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. I am a 2nd year Early Childhood Education student and my brilliant professor suggested that we read this book for his class "Child Guidance." So many teachers struggle with challenging behaviour and this book describes positive techniques to use with children of all ages. Behaviour guidance is about helping children develop self-control, it's not about pleasing the teacher. Every teacher should read this book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Guidance and Discipline, January 12, 2007

By	D. Miller (Fresno) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Positive Child Guidance (Paperback)

This is written as a text book but it is readable and practical and it is perfect for parents. Reading it is much like sitting down with a friend and talking about real day-to-day problems babies, toddlers and young children have as they learn to cope with their feelings and to comply with parents' rules for safe, responsible behavior.

The book has simple, practical lists of things to do when toddlers bite, preschoolers fight and school-aged children pick up bad words. It gives help on potty training, sleep problems and thumb-sucking. An in depth index makes it easy to find topics.

You will want to order a second copy to lend to friends so they don't take yours!!

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. I am a 2nd year Early Childhood Education student and my brilliant professor suggested that we read this book for his class "Child Profile." So many teachers struggle with challenging behaviour and this book describes positive techniques to use with children of all ages. Behaviour guidance is about helping children develop self-control, it's not about pleasing the teacher. Every teacher should read this book!!
