Summary "In Young Children's Behaviour - Practical Approaches for Caregivers and Teachers, Louise Porter aims to provide practical suggestions for responding to young children's behaviour, using a child-centred perspective that is consistent with the educational goals of staff; suggest behaviour management techniques that safeguard the emotional needs of the child as well as the rights of other children and adults in the group; and embed these concepts within a clear and accessible theoretical framework."--BOOK JACKET. "Students, caregivers and teachers will benefit from the conversational style and step-by-step approach."--BOOK JACKET
