Editorial Review Product Description Finally, a book that shows you how to teach kids the eight indispensable skills-self-confidence, self-awareness, communication, problem solving, getting along, goal setting, perseverance, and empathy-they'll need for living confident, happy, and productive lives. Filled with step-by-step advice, practical ideas, and real-life examples, Parents Do Make a Difference puts field-tested tools into the hands of every parent and teacher who wants their children to succeed. "The fact is this may well be the only book you'll ever need on raising great children."--from the Foreword by Jack Canfield, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul Once you open thebook, though, it's just as clear that, marketing aside, the book wasnot actually written as part of the parents vs. peers debate, which ithas absolutely nothing to do with. Nor is it a scholarly work, in thevein of Harris's book. The original title of this book was probablysomething like "The Eight Skills of Raising Successful Children." These simple skills, which Borba (author of 36 other educationalpublications) has researched and workshopped across the country, thenimplemented in the curriculum of three elementary schools, arecommonsensical, feel-good affirmations for parents and kids. Borbauses lots of lists: the aforementioned eight skills, "four steps todeveloping positive self-beliefs," "four steps to enhancing socialcompetence," and so on. The "success tips" and affirmations are prettystraightforward, as with this suggested "pillowgram": "Slip a messageunder your child's pillow. 'Kevin, I loved looking at your drawingstoday. You are so artistic! Sleep tight! Love, Dad.'" These are fine,basic self-esteem builders; unfortunately, they can sometimes veer toomuch on the cloying side. But for parents who want to help theirchildren develop the eight skills (self-confidence, communication,getting along, perseverance, self-awareness, problem solving, goalsetting, and caring), it should be of significant help.

So Helpful to My 6 year old
Ideal reading when working with children
This author should be avoided
Recommended to all our clients with children
Excellent The stories areunsophisticated and the morals are "too obvious," and the bookobviously is written for young children. So I expected mine - ages 9 and 8- to be bored silly. To my surprise, they can't get enough of this book! They apparently the directness and the clear relevance to their owndilemmas. Based on this unexpected response of my own kids, I highlyrecommend it for any children of divorce from pre-school AT LEAST throughthe age of nine! ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description A revolution in working with difficult students began during the 1980s, with a dramatic shift away from dependence on simply punishing bad behavior to reinforcing desired, positive behaviors of children in the classroom. With its foundation in applied behavior analysis (ABA), positive behavior support (PBS) is a social ecology approach that continues to play an increasingly integral role in public education as well as mental health and social services nationwide. The Handbook of Positive Behavior Support gathers into one concise volume the many elements of this burgeoning field and organizes them into a powerful, dynamic knowledge base – theory, research, and applications. Within its chapters, leading experts, including the primary developers and researchers of PBS: (1) Review the origins, history, and ethical foundations of positive behavior support. (2) Report on applications of PBS in early childhood and family contexts, from Head Start to foster care to mental health settings to autism treatment programs. (3) Examine school-based PBS used to benefit all students regardless of ability or conduct. (4) Relate schoolwide PBS to wraparound mental health services and the RTI (response to intervention) movement. (5) Provide data and discussion on a variety of topics salient to PBS, including parenting issues, personnel training, high school use, poorly functioning schools, and more. This volume is an essential resource for school-based practitioners as well as clinicians and researchers in clinical child, school, and educational psychology. Customer Reviews (1)
