Donna Whyte presents specific strategies for addressing classroom management problems, and she doesn't shy away from tough issues such as bullying, lying, and stealing. Her focus is on an even greater challenge, teaching children the skills they need to control their own behavior. Whyte offers humor, perspective, and insight as she shares her own mistakes and successes, setting the stage for an abundance of proven strategies to teach self control, and appropriate behavior choices. This book includes strategies for teaching children how to: (1) solve their own problems; (2) identify and express feelings; (3) follow directions; (4) make decisions; (5) negotiate for what they want; and (6) get back on track after a bad choice.
