Item Description

The Power of Guidance: Teaching Social-Emotional Skills In the Early Childhood Classroom gives readers valuable insight into using guidance in the early childhood setting through a collection of popular writings on this timely topic. Taking into consideration the social and emotional development in young children, the book examines such areas as understanding why children behave the way they do and how to use the guidance approach to succeed in teaching acceptable social behaviors. The material discusses the differences between such important concepts as patience and understanding and between misbehavior and mistaken behavior. These concepts provide insight into the importance of developing an encouraging classroom and how that leads to non-punitive strategies for managing the classroom setting. The popular guidance concept of this book attracted the attention of the NAEYC, which has made it a comprehensive member benefit for 2003. Benefits: • Patience and understanding are differentiated, which is the key to using guidance. • Misbehavior and mistaken behavior are differentiated, helping teachers understand children’s behavior. • Discipline versus guidance is discussed, giving teachers a new vocabulary for actions many already use. • Management strategies for an encouraging classroom give teachers non-punitive strategies for classroom management. • Intervention strategies with boys address commonly asked questions.
