This book will provide you with a blend of practical ideas and underpinning theory about how children learn patterns of behaving. This book will enable you to consider realistic expectations
for different age groups, the likely perspectives of children, and will guide you to deal with children whose behavior is experienced as challenging.
Understanding Children's Behavior highlights the importance of sustained, personal relationships with children and of effective partnerships between the adults in their life. Discussion of both
theory and practice focuses on the practitioner's role in supporting the development of pro-social behavior.
This book is part of Jennie Lindon's series "Linking Theory and Practice" series. The established approach provides accessible descriptions of relevant theory and research, yet links this
information closely to best practice with children and their families.
The content and style of the series has been developed to support students on Early Childhood degree programmes, Early Years Foundation Degree courses, practitioners working towards Early Years
Professional Status and also experienced senior practitioners extending their professional development and that of their team.
