This easy-to-use resource for teachers, counsellors, and school administrators working with children ages 6-9 uses instructional principles to help educators model effective life skills behaviours: - breaking tasks and challenges into manageable pieces - modeling solutions - structuring opportunities for practice - providing feedback - and affirming progress. The book offers units covering topics that include the child who doesn't have friends, who does poorly in sports, who has difficulty learning, who steals, who tells lies, who bullies others. Each unit provides a succinct discussion of the topic for the educator, a 10-minute read-aloud story, strategic thinking questions, optional paper-and-pencil activities, and photocopiable exercises. The book includes two appendices to guide the teacher through more complex psychological problems and psychological overlay, which may require referral and counselling. This book will be an essential resource for every primary teacher who wants to help guide learners through many of the developmental challenges of childhood.
