How can teachers deal with difficult behaviour in the classroom? Moment to Moment argues that the key is to look behind the behaviour to what the child's actions say about the child. Based on extensive classroom experience, the book maintains that difficult behaviour does not occur because a child is ""behavioural"" or attention-seeking, or because they lack motivation or are victims of poor parenting. This insightful book is based on the premise that some children need extra help and patience in developing social skills. It shows teachers how to build these important social skills - ranging from ability to control speech and movement, through attention and concentration, to the ability to adapt to the social environment. This book empowers teachers to help children develop stronger character, sense of self, and emotional well-being, giving them the skills they need to deal with the emotional challenges they meet in school. Committed to improving behaviour in the classroom, the book also offers strategies to avoid and de-escalate meltdowns before and as they occur. Classroom games and activities to teach and support all students in important social skills are a major part of this important book. Ideal for new and experienced teachers, Moment to Moment offers teachers the tools they need to help children succeed socially, emotionally, and behaviourally.
