All children are challenging to some extent, but some are more challenging than others. Students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) can be tough to support and teach. "The Challenging Behaviours Pocketbook" focuses on three particular behaviour disorders: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD). Making extensive use of cartoons and diagrams to support the text, the book explains why some children are prone to developing a can't learn, won't learn or don't care attitude. The author devotes a chapter each to ADHD, ODD and CD. He illustrates each behaviour type through the characters Liam, Vicky and Darren, identifies typical characteristics and then offers classroom strategies for supporting and managing students with these SEBD. Lesson scenarios with example dialogues demonstrate how different teacher responses can lead to different outcomes and a final chapter suggests a whole-school approach to promoting good behaviour.

Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and at school, ADHD and Attention Difficulties offers a complete introduction to this complex and sensitive topic. While there is no one 'best' strategy for managing ADHD, many of the most problematic issues spring from an inability to manage distractions - so young people tend to do best when provided with a consistent, structured environment. Placing at the heart of the work the premise that those who struggle with attention difficulties respond best to people who understand that it is neurological deficits, not unwillingness, that prevent them from behaving and learning like their peers, Fin O'Regan and Sara Cave explore the issues, challenges and experiences commonly faced by a young person with ADHD - and how parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.
