Some great insights and questions to guide discussions with students and help them navigate their behavior challenges with frankness, understanding, and empathy. I’ve immediately put it into practice and have been impressed by how responsive my students are and how they seem to appreciate the way the questions are phrased. Students who normally would say “I don’t know” or not seem to care are expressing vulnerability and openness and engaging in meaningful conversations about their challenges.

A challenging read at times for kids to listen to as some parts seem so relatable to them & their actions as unique kids. I read this book at bedtime to my 8 & 13yo to help them as one has behavioral disorders. I still find myself over time going back and referencing the book. It also helps remind me the parent that it's not on purpose.

This book is great for kids and their parents. It has realistic challenges and exercises to do. No way my kids would read, but they don’t mind reading and listening to the ideas in the book, and that has helped all of us.

Great for older kids

I got this for my son but he is only 5. Great book for kids with behavioral issues. Lots of good ideas.

This is a great resource book for older kids that might have some behavior challenges as well as their parents and other family members. I am not sure that a lot of kids would read this book all on their own. However it is an easy book to just read bits and pieces out of. I love that the term "Behavior Challenges" was used as opposed to more often said, "Behavior Problems". This book contains a ton of valuable information that is sure to help kids figure out their trigger points and how to manage them. My son is a little young to read this on his own, however I hope to use this book to help him realize some solutions for some challenges he has.

I probably should have read the blurb a bit better, I didn't realize this book was for the kids with behavior challenges. This is a great book for older kids to help them understand their behavior and what they can do about it. It is a survival guide for kids not parents. My children are a bit too young for this book at the moment but I believe that it would be a great book for when they are older.
I highly recommend this book for older children and their parents.
