Outrageous Behavior Mod A Creative Approach

Barry Christian has hit the nail on the proverbial head with his excellent book. The plans are unique and appropriate. They offer a change of pace from enforcement and point systems. These are really helpful ideas than can make working with oppositional and or defiant children or youth, meaningful. He reminds you in his trainings that these aren't for depressed or special needs kids, but for the stubborn and defiant, who simply choose not meet adult expectations. Get your copy and save yourself a great deal of grief. See Barry in person, if he presents in your area; He's a great presenter as well.

Great tactics for working with the trickiest behaviors!

This book is full of brief interventions for working with the very behaviors that drive teachers, parents, and counselors crazy. There's a section on coping with bullying and name calling that approaches this from a nicely twisted angle. Includes coupons for photocopying and giving to students to use for things like "one tantrum," "turn in one assignment late without penalty," and "leave class five minutes early."A great addition to your toolkit, especially if you ever work or live with youth!
