Great surface advice. Would have liked more depth but overall good information on what causes kids to act out and some simple steps you can use to try to diffuse a situation.

Read for a class, but happy I did.

[Grace M · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good advice and reminders for teachers, but more suited for education students or very novice teachers

[Lorrie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book will definitely be helpful for me in working with my older students. It helps me to set boundaries ahead of time on misbehaviors in the classroom. Not everything presented is realistic but definitely helpful.

Highly effective and informative SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) approaches to challenging behaviors.
