Hazel Clapham (United Kingdom) (2010/10/17):
Parents, teachers, childcare staff, playgroup staff and child minders all share one very important and often overlooked feature: they spend considerable periods of time in direct contact with children. This means that when behaviour problems arise, direct contact people are often in a position to have the time, the detailed information and the vested interest to change the behaviour of the children concerned.Professional people from the caring agencies like Health, Social Services and Education have long agreed that when problems do arise, it is vital to involve parents, teachers and others as partners in tackling them. Parents can learn more effective skills for working with their children. So can teachers, child care staff, playgroup staff and child minders. The purpose of this book is to go even further and help direct contact personnel to become their own experts on many occasions. Many problems which people complain about may only require the application of a simple effective strategy.
