For courses in Classroom Management for Young Children, Guiding Young Children, and Managing Behaviors of Young Children.

Fifty Early Childhood Guidance Strategies presents an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand positive approach involving the young children themselves in eliminating their inappropriate behavior.  Teachers and student teachers alike will quickly learn what to expect when children first enter the early childhood classroom, how to assess children's behavior, how to redirect it, and how to get children involved in controlling their own actions.  The 50 strategies include appropriate child behavior categories such as communicating feelings and conflict conversion, inappropriate behavior categories such as possession conflicts and power struggles, and teacher concerns such as intervention (how and when) and time-out (using or not using).  Each of the strategies is illustrated by photos taken by the author showing children and teachers engaged in the activities discussed.  Children's artifacts and appropriate book titles are also included where appropriate.

• Alphabetically arranged strategies-For easy selection; on the inside front cover is a table of the strategies grouped by category(Appropriate Child Behavior, Inappropriate Child Behavior, Teacher Concerns).
• Strategies are tied to children's picture books at the early childhood level-Over 150 of the finest books have been selected and described or listed within the strategies.  (Ex. pp x-xi).
• The activities described have been chosen as models for easy use.  (Ex. pp 39).
• Checklists for assessing appropriate behavior progress in children-Sharing Behavior, Early Childhood Behavior, Group Entry Strategies, Child-Centered Learning Centers, and Self-Esteem.  (Ex. pp 140, 1, 23).
