'The book provides a comprehensive, yet practical discussion of
guidance strategies that can be implemented in a variety of
situations. These strategies promote a respect for children and
their rights, enhance children's self-esteem, and help to foster
pro-social skills. This book is a must-read for both students and
practitioners who work with children and families.' - Dr Laura
McFarland, School of Education, Charles Sturt University Drawing on
the latest research evidence, Young Children's Behaviour outlines
the beliefs and values that underpin the guidance approach to
managing the behaviours of children from birth to eight years of
age. In contrast with rewards-and-punishment systems, guidance
believes that children do not need incentives to behave well, but
instead need skills. Rather than punishing them for lacking skills,
guidance teaches young children self-regulation skills so that they
can behave considerately. The author provides practical strategies
that both meet children's needs and safeguard the rights of
surrounding adults and children. These methods include listening,
being assertive, giving positive instructions, solving problems
collaboratively, and coaching children to self-regulate their
emotions and impulses. The text also offers advice on responding to
many common challenges including separation distress, meltdowns,
aggression, and social withdrawal. Finally, the book suggests how
educators can provide educational and behavioural support for
children with atypical development and describes how to foster
effective relationships with parents whose children display
challenging behaviours. Dr Louise Porter powerfully argues that
behaviour guidance is the most effective approach to working with
young children and reflects the deepest values of early childhood
education and care.
Gifted Young Children is a practical guide to identifying and
supporting young children who may be gifted or talented. Louise
Porter outlines how to identify and provide educationally for
children aged up to 8 years with advanced development. She explains
how teachers and parents can promote children's emotional and
social adjustment, including ways to enhance self-esteem, encourage
friendships and support their autonomy. She shows how parents can
discuss giftedness with children and respond to their needs.
