Description
Book SynopsisProviding essential background information and thorough overviews of our current knowledge about children's behavioral, emotional, developmental, and learning problems, Understanding and Managing Children's Classroom Behavior, Second Edition addresses the concept of temperament and its impact on children's behavior and personality.
Trade Review"The book is a valuable resource for school psychologists working in consultation with teachers and other educational staff who must deal with issues such as disruptive behaviors, social learning problems, and bullying. Today's school psychologists need a variety of tools to address all the demands of students in the 21st century. This book offers excellent ways to help these children be resilient in today's complex world. It is a must have!" (
