Anyone who has worked with a classroom of young children has had to balance the need to manage problem behaviors with the need to support children?s long-term development. In this vital resource, W. George Scarlett and his associates offer practical guidance for maintaining this balance, and they present a wealth of strategies for tackling behavior problems, building young children?s self-control, and developing classrooms into productive, caring communities. The methods described are based on a developmental approach that sensitizes teachers to the unique needs of the individual child, groups of children, and the classroom as a whole. [ital]Trouble in the Classroom features contributions from master teachers, academics, and practitioners who write in concise language that is free of educational jargon. They present examples of teacher/child, child/child, and teacher/teacher interactions that help make complicated issues easy to comprehend. Most of all, they show the strenuous but incredibly rewarding process of letting development become the cure for behavior problems.
