Description

We can't control how we feel, but we are in charge of what we do. Positive behaviour is a critical component of healthy personal, social, and emotional development. It helps children achieve better outcomes in whatever they do, and supports their ability to learn and grow. Following on from First Feelings, this essential series focuses on six classic behaviours displayed by young children. Each book introduces a single behaviour, and explores its effect on others, while offering coping strategies where relevant. With thanks to Dr Kathryn Lester, Senior Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the University of Sussex, for her invaluable advice during the making of this series.
