Publisher's Synopsis
This book reflects the new approach to guidance in the preschool classroom, focusing on positive rather than inappropriate behaviors. It provides future and current teachers with the skills to create a prosocial physical environment, to anticipate and prevent inappropriate behavior from happening, and to help children manage their own behavior. This is the only text to offer two unique checklists which allow parents and teachers to evaluate themselves and their children in terms of prosocial development. The author also provides complete coverage of how teachers can develop eight prosocial behaviors in preschoolers with positive guidance.
