OverviewFor courses in the Guidance of Young Children Stressing that every child has some kind of special need, especially children with challenging behaviour, this book contains numerous practical, indispensable tips for responding to those needs, building relationships with children and their families, and preventing challenging behaviour. It provides teachers with background information that enables them to understand why children behave the way they do and presents several evidence-based strategies to address their challenging behaviour effectively so that teachers can select those best suited to the child and the situation. Useful to education students as well as in-service teachers in pre-school, child care, and primary school, the book emphasises the importance of the teacher's role in the behaviour of children and encourages students and educators to reflect on their own values, feelings, and actions. In addition to up-to-date research on culture, dual-language learning, resilience, and inclusion, this new edition focuses on what stress can do to children's brains, executive function, and behaviour.
