This book helps meet this challenge. Its inclusive approach seeks to promote positive behaviour in all children. The book includes:

    • a straightforward assessment process to identify children who need additional support
    • practical strategies to encourage positive behaviour and promote emotional well being
    • informative case studies that show how solutions work in practice.

    This book is an ideal resource for all early years practitioners working across a variety of settings for young children.
