Drawing on her extensive practical experience, Liz Williams provides a
highly accessible and much-needed guide to promoting positive behaviour
in early years settings.
In this book, she explains why children may act in the way that they do
and how behaviour should be understood differently in children of
different ages. She demonstrates that social and emotional capacities
differ greatly in these crucial development years and how this impacts
on the support needed at each stage. The book considers a host of
factors influencing positive behaviour, such as environments and the
importance of planning, and looks beyond the child to show the vital
role that staff and parents have in promoting appropriate behaviour.
Written in clear and understandable language, this book is full of ideas
that early years workers can easily implement in their day-to-day work.
