Helping with Behaviour shows how to establish good practice in early years settings, so that all children are supported in developing positive interactions with each other.
Sue Roffey explains the features of an 'emotionally literate' environment that meets the needs of more vulnerable children and looks at how to respond effectively when children are distressed and hard to manage, providing plenty of ideas and inspiration throughout.
Using accessible and down-to-earth language, this book looks at:
· How to foster a sense of belonging and build self-esteem
· How we can help pre-schoolers learn to feel good about complying and co-operating
· How children can become strong individuals as well as learn to be good
· How to identify more worrying behavior and when to refer to other professionals
This book is based on sound psychological theory and research but written especially for early years practitioners, who will easily be able to engage with the ideas presented and hence develop strong principles of positive behavior themselves. The wide range of concepts included here will be an invaluable source of inspiration, making this book essential reading for anyone concerned with vulnerable young children in their care.
