A Modern Guide to Behavorial Modification in Children

As the Director of a Day Care Facility, this book offered the best guide to dealing with modifying aggressive behavior in children entering the world of other, differently backgrounded children that I've found...It is full of common sense approaches to achieving the desired cooperation of children at the earliest levels of inter-action with peers and adults.

This book is concise, easily understood, and makes sense.

As a grandparent, the easily understood guidelines for managing busy children makes the job fun....where were you 30 years ago when I was bringing up the parents of my grandchildren...A truly wonderful book...

What every parent should know about raising children.

This book provides practical, thoughtful guidelines about raising children. It discusses children's behavior in a very logical, helpful way. The title is unfortunate as it relates to all children, not just those who misbehave. This is one of the best books about children's behavior that I have ever read and, as a Professor of Pediatrics, it is an area in which I have great interest.
