Dukes and Smith, teachers who have worked with children with special needs and behavioral difficulties in the UK, explain how to improve the behavior of young children in early childhood settings, for pre-school practitioners, tutors, and college students. They contend that issues involved in behavior are complex; there is rarely one answer to resolve difficulties; settings which build better behavior are those which consider each child holistically and reflect on the environment; and that reflective practitioners can create a proactive and positive setting. They discuss developmental behavior characteristics and provide strategies, skills, and resources to observe and improve behavior, referencing policies and procedures from the UK. Sample policies are included and photocopiable worksheets are provided on the CD-ROM. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
