Synopsis
Are you someone who struggles to understand why some children act appropriately in social situations, while others never seem to act their age? Have you ever tried to mold or shape a child's behavior, only to have your efforts backfire? If so, then you are certainly not alone. The most common ways of trying to 'deal' with children when they exhibit antisocial behavior is either to reward them or to punish them. But, these strategies at best only produce short-term changes in behavior, and ultimately do very little to help develop children's capacity to think and seek out positive outcomes when troubles arise. There is a better way to address children's behavior that helps them improve their social thinking about others and consistently make pro-social decisions. This book will show you how.
Join nationally-recognized experts on behavior Dr. Ellyn Lucas Arwood, Carole Kaulitz, and Mabel Brown as they walk readers through a series of strategies that educators and parents can use to re-think their approaches to behavior. Each strategy derives from a unique understanding of how children's brains operate, and what kind of nurturing language children need in order to initiate and maintain successful friendships with others. Common myths and misunderstandings about children's behavior are explored throughout each chapter, and readers become empowered to see the strengths and positive attributes that underly each child's actions. Ahead of its time, this book previews many of the theories and practices showcased within Arwood's Neuro-Education Model (ANM), a framework which utilizes neuroscience and cognitive psychology research to provide visual language strategies for children who struggle in social situations. Multiple stories and case studies are provided to show how readers can begin applying these strategies immediately at home or in their classroom, and start to see life-changing transformations within their students and loved ones.
