Opis

This book critically discusses the issues associated with behaviour problems in the early years, and their implications for practice. Emphasis is placed on the needs of both individual children and the whole class, as the author analyses the success and failures of everyday classroom practice alongside the current government initiatives. The author includes checklists, and observation and screening procedures to help professionals with the early identification behavioural difficulties, which emphasises the book's practical nature.

Recenzje

'This book is highly recommended for all existing and prospective practitioners working with young children and has particular significance, given the important role early years professionals now play within the current context of government policies for early intervention.' - Early Years
