Encouraging Children to Learn (Paperback)

A central tenet of Adlerian psychology and a timeless intervention strategy, encouragement gives children a sense that they have a place in society and, in turn, secures their investment in themselves and the group. As we witness rising levels of violence, depression, anxiety, and suicide among the nation's youth, this classic discussion of how to encourage children to engage in learning assumes renewed, even increased, importance. Discouraged children disengage from learning and from society. Encouraged children believe themselves capable of overcoming adversity, of meeting life's challenges; they feel the value of contributing to the world around them, and both child and society benefit.
Rudolf Dreikurs, M.D., a colleague of Alfred Adler and founder of Individual Psychology, and Don Dinkmeyer, PhD., distinguished author and educator, provide teachers, mental health professionals, and parents with practical strategies for using encouragement in their work with children. They use case studies from actual classroom situations to illustrate their methods, and what results is a concise, easy to read volume that will continue to be indispensable to anyone working with children now and in the future. Brunner-Routledge is proud to reprint this timeless classic with a new preface by G. W. Linden.
