Young Children and Classroom Behaviour

First Published in 2001. This book takes an overall perspective on young children's behaviour. Rather than offering a single approach or a specific strategy to deal with children's difficult behaviour it clarifies all those factors which must be taken into account when promoting positive behaviour in school. The message is that it is the 'whole package' that makes the difference. A strategy is only as good as the context in which it takes place.
