5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have!, April 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: What Do You Do with a Child Like This?: Inside the Lives of Troubled Children (Paperback)
This book is a MUST for anyone who teaches in an elementary, middle or high school. Its anecdotal format makes it easy to use as a quick reference guide. I have given at least 10 of these books as gifts over the past few years. It is excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for All Teachers, November 30, 1999
By 
This review is from: What Do You Do with a Child Like This?: Inside the Lives of Troubled Children (Paperback)
This is an excellent book to have at your desk. I give a copy to every student teacher I supervise once they've completed their training with us. It's anecdotal format makes it easy to refresh yourself quickly and the information is useful for kids grades k-12. I highly recommend this book. It's the best $16.00 I've spent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, insightful book, November 26, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: What Do You Do with a Child Like This?: Inside the Lives of Troubled Children (Paperback)
If you have the "instinct" for working with children who have emotional and behavioral difficulties, this book is for you!! In the format of an experienced E/BD teacher's "thought journal," its short anecdotes touch your heart and remind you that even though sometimes your best is not enough, it's all that you can give these tough kids. I, too, keep this book within easy reach and give it to all my friends, student teachers and aides. (Additional suggestion: I also have been known to give it to those folks who don't "get it" in an attempt to bring out that empathy gene -- works well with administrators and grumpy regular ed teachers.) GREAT BOOK!!!
