This easy-to-use tool provides an observation checklist which enables
staff to identify behavioural patterns in children with social and
emotional difficulties, analyse the underlying emotional difficulties
and establish what kind of help and support the children need.
Behavioural responses are categorised within clearly outlined topics,
including:
* behaviour and relationship with peers
* attachment behaviours
* emotional state in the classroom
* attitude to attendance
Checklists and diagrams identify different 'styles' of relating, to help
school staff to respond appropriately to the individual needs of each
child. A range of handouts include activities designed to provide
emotional support, to focus and regulate behaviour and enable the child
to develop important social and emotional skills.
Suitable for use with children aged 11+, this tool will be an invaluable
resource for teachers, teaching assistants, learning support staff,
school counsellors and educational psychologists.
