Learning to Work Cooperatively and Respectfully with Others Democratic life skills are skills that enable all of us-children and adults alike-to be caring, thoughtful members of families, schools, communities, and societies. But these emotional and social skills don't just happen. Teachers and families support and nudge young children toward them, using guidance techniques that calm and teach. Completely updated and revised, the second edition of this classic resource provides relatable anecdotes and practical strategies for teachers to understand Why building secure relationships with children and families is so important-and eight communication practices to build them How viewing misbehavior as mistaken behavior allows you to focus on helping a child learn better ways to meet their needs When and how to use specific guidance practices to promote children's healthy personal development and social cooperation How an encouraging learning community helps everyone move toward achieving their potential Whether you're a veteran teacher or just embarking on your teaching journey, you'll find what you need in this book to provide young children with a solid foundation for their-and society's-future.

Addressing ages 3 to 8 years, A GUIDANCE APPROACH FOR THE ENCOURAGING CLASSROOM, 6th Edition, functions as a primary reference for professionals or as a resource for classes that address group management, the learning environment, child guidance, child behavior, challenging behavior, conflict management, and peace education topics. Part 1 explores the foundation of guidance in early childhood education. Part 2 focuses on building and organizing an encouraging classroom, and discusses such topics as daily schedules, routines, use of thematic instruction, and the importance of working with parents. Part 3 addresses problem solving and challenging behavior, including a practical illustration of how to use and teach conflict management and information about the "five-finger-formula." Highlights of the new edition include standards and video integration, expanded coverage of diversity, and information on current brain research. Throughout, this experience-based resource includes real-life anecdotes that allow professionals to make the shift from conventional classroom to developmentally appropriate guidance.
