Give children the social and emotional tools they need to grow and thrive on their own
All children—not just those with challenging behaviors—require guidance as they develop the social and emotional skills they will use the rest of their lives. This resource provides everything you need to help children build and use six essential life skills: attachment, belonging, self-regulation, collaboration, contribution, and adaptability. Developed and tested in the classroom, this strength-based approach includes strategies, examples of supportive interactions, and special activities to help you manage challenging behaviors and strengthen social and emotional development in all children. Reflecting significant changes in early childhood education, this second edition of Beyond Behavior Management aligns each life skill with early learning standards and addresses cultural awareness and its impact on child development. With these essential life skills, children will exhibit more prosocial behaviors, work better as a classroom community, and become excited and active learners.
This edition includes two new chapters and content reflecting early learning standards, new research, cultural diversity, and strategies to strengthen the home-school connection. Discussion and reflection questions, exercises, journal assignments, child profile templates, a planning worksheet, and sample scripts are also included.
Age focus: 3-6. Softbound, 336 pgs.

Wonderful!
Beyond Behavior Management: The Six Life Skills Children Need is a book that every parent, and educator of young children must read. It is full of amazing ideas that are very easy to implement, with many stemming from the Montessori philosophy of education, which I really loved. There are a ton of reproducible pages for parents and educators to use, and perfect for doing assessments or individual learning plans for the children in your care. My favorite chapter was on self-regulation and attachment.
I highly recommend this book for all educators and parents, and it should be in the resource library of all daycare centers and elementary schools.
I give this book a huge thumbs up!

Review: NAEYC's Teaching Young Children - April 1, 2012
In Beyond Behavior Management, we see Jenna Bilmes model positive behavior for the children as a strategy for managing her classroom. Each chapter of the book presents clear examples and ideas devoted to vital life skills. The new edition includes reflection questions and exercises, encouraging readers to think critically about how they can implement the suggested strategies in their programs.
