Positive or negative behaviors a child displays while exploring, learning, and communicating express how they are adapting to their environment. There are as many reasons for a behavior as there are children. Some children react inappropriately because they have never been given direction or taught how to handle various situations. It is important to influence behavior by modeling what is acceptable and explain it to the child. Understanding developmental stages is a key factor in modifying behavior. This book will address types of inappropriate behavior, methods that can be used in working with behavioral challenges, and some techniques that may assist children to develop appropriate skills necessary to correct inappropriate behavior.
