Summary

Disruptive behavior, power struggles, lack of motivation, attention deficit disorder—at times the list of obstacles to teaching seems endless. That’s why thousands of teachers and child-care providers have turned to the solutions in Setting Limits in the Classroom. This fully updated and expanded third edition offers the most up-to-date alternatives to punishment and permissiveness—moving beyond traditional methods that wear you down and get you nowhere.

Topics include:

- Eliminating power struggles and handling disruptions quickly

- Establishing an effective environment for learning

- Using natural and logical consequences to support your rules

- Conducting proactive, focused parent conferences

- New research and techniques for supporting special-needs children

With its new focus on younger students and special tools for handling “strong-willed” children, this edition offers schoolteachers the tools they need to gain control of their classrooms—respectfully and effectively.
