Shows how children can learn personal responsibility and judge right and wrong for themselves. 

 

With a strong emphasis on developmental theory and constructivism, Constructive Guidance and Discipline: Preschool and Primary Education explains underlying causes for child behavior, weaves numerous preschool and primary classroom examples throughout, and includes two chapters on guiding children with special needs.  This book more clearly links guidance techniques to the causes of behavior than any other on the market. It features prevention of behavior problems through developmentally appropriate practices and meeting children’s physical and emotional needs.

• Uses vignettes and examples of guidance and discipline issues throughout the book and helps students understand the research and theory base behind them.
