Presents guidance and discipline concepts within a framework of child development, developmentally appropriate practices, and constructivist education, and takes a stand on what is best for children rather than merely presenting various approaches. Major theoretical influences include the work of Alfred Adler, Carl Rogers, Jean Piaget, Constance Kamii, and Erik Erikson. Material considers individual differences due to temperament, physical and intellectual capabilities, gender, culture, and class. Includes many examples of effective and ineffective techniques in an ongoing example of fictional preschool and primary school classrooms, plus discussion questions, and b&w photos. This second edition contains new chapters on children with special physical and emotional needs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
