Tricky Kids

Mehr zum Buch

This book assists parents and teachers in understanding and addressing the needs of children with strong personalities—those who are manipulators, negotiators, debaters, competitors, daredevils, and passive resisters. Many parents and educators encounter challenging yet lovable children who are stubborn, defiant, or free-spirited. While these children can be demanding, they often possess the qualities that can lead to significant achievements in the future. The text explores how parents and teachers can effectively manage these dynamic personalities, guiding them to develop essential life skills such as empathy, anger management, focus, and genuine friendships. It emphasizes the importance of creating positive change within families and classrooms to prevent these children from dominating their environments. Recognizing that parents may only have one strong-willed child while teachers often contend with many, the author includes a special supplement tailored to the unique needs of educators. This resource aims to equip them with strategies to foster a supportive learning atmosphere for all students.
