You can buy in the best behaviour tracking software, introduce 24/7
detentions or scream 'NO EXCUSES' as often as you want - but
ultimately the solution lies with the behaviour of the adults. It
is the only behaviour over which we have absolute control. Drawing
on anecdotal case studies, scripted interventions and approaches
which have been tried and tested in a range of contexts, from the
most challenging urban comprehensives to the most privileged
international schools, behaviour training expert and Pivotal
Education director Paul Dix advocates an inclusive approach that is
practical, transformative and rippling with respect for staff and
learners. An approach in which behavioural expectations and
boundaries are exemplified by people, not by a thousand rules that
nobody can recall. When the Adults Change, Everything Changes
illustrates how, with their traditional sanction- and exclusion-led
methods, the 'punishment brigade' are losing the argument. It
outlines how each school can build authentic practice on a stable
platform, resulting in shifts in daily rules and routines, in how
we deal with the angriest learners, in restorative practice and in
how we appreciate positive behaviour. Each chapter is themed and
concludes with three helpful checklists Testing, Watch out for and
Nuggets designed to help you form your own behaviour blueprint.
Throughout the book both class teachers and school leaders will
find indispensable advice about how to involve all staff in
developing a whole school ethos built on kindness, empathy and
understanding. Suitable for all head teachers, school leaders,
teachers, NQTs and classroom assistants in any phase or context,
including SEND and alternative provision settings who are looking
to upgrade their own classroom management or school behaviour plan.

Your behaviour is the only behaviour over which you have absolute
control. To change your children's behaviour, you first need to
change your own. The culture of any home is determined by the
parents. If you can remain unflappably calm in the face of every
supermarket tantrum and sarcastic eye-roll, order will soon follow.
Here, Paul Dix - Britain's leading children's behaviour expert -
reveals how to build a culture of calm consistency into your home,
starting today. He explains how you really can maintain a sense of
Zen-like serenity in the face of even the most chaotic behaviour,
from school-gate screaming matches to mealtime childmageddon. And
he offers a set of simple strategies for coolly getting the
behaviour you want - without a barked instruction, deranged
punishment or cold, hard cash-bribe in sight. His tried-and-tested
method will change what your child does by first changing what you
do. You will never need to raise your voice again.
There is a behavioural nirvana: one that is calm, purposeful and
respectful. Where poor pupil behaviour is as rare as a PE teacher
in trousers and where relationships drive achievement. Annoyingly
and predictably, the road is hard and the ride bumpy and littered
with cliches - but it is achievable. And when you get there it is a
little slice of heaven. A revolution in behaviour can be exciting,
dynamic and, at times, pleasantly terrifying. But revolution is
short-lived. In After the Adults Change Paul shows you that, after
the behaviour of the adults has changed, there is an opportunity to
go wider and deeper: to accelerate relational practice, decrease
disproportionate punishment and fully introduce restorative,
informed and coaching-led cultures. Paul delves into the
possibilities for improvement in pupil behaviour and teacher-pupil
relationships, drawing further upon a hugely influential behaviour
management approach whereby expectations and boundaries are
exemplified by calm, consistent and regulated adults.
Your own behaviour is the only behaviour over which you have
absolute control. To change your children's behaviour, you first
need to change your own. Here, Britain's leading behaviour expert
reveals how we get children's behaviour wrong - and how to get it
right. Drawing on a method tried and tested in over 100,000
classrooms, he shows that the only way to change what your child
does is by first changing what you do. He explains why punishing
your way to a life without tantrum-prone toddlers/sulking teenagers
is a fool's errand - and how to instead grow new behaviours with
love. And he reveals why a positive, relational, consistent
approach to parenting is 1,000 times more powerful than any Xbox,
Disneyland trip or cold, hard cash bribe that money can buy. Filled
with practical tools and relatable case studies, Paul Dix's method
will turn your home into a behavioural nirvana. It is not just a
list of punishments and rewards. It is so much more useful than
that.
