In the Sixth Edition of this highly
respected text, the authors provide information about helping
children become confident, caring, responsible, and productive
people in a strong and thoughtful way. This edition now includes
content and examples on infants and toddlers, making the book
relevant to teachers of children from birth through age eight. All
of the authors’ recommendations about guidance approaches are
based on the sound research of Jean Piaget, Alfred Adler and Carl
Roger. These insightful recommendations, for novice and seasoned
educators alike, further acknowledge the uniqueness of each child,
including how individual temperaments and experiences affect
behavior. The authors encourage their readers to treat the root
cause of behavior problems rather than just the symptoms in order
to obtain lasting results. In doing so, they continually present a
clear discussion of child development and developmentally
appropriate practices as they relate to the causes of
children’s behavior.  Unique in providing a unified
theory base for analyzing guidance and discipline, the text offers
a consistent view of external versus internal motivation,
explaining why rewards are as damaging as punishment, and why
evaluative praise undermines children’s learning as well as
their self-confidence. 

Keenly focused on developmental theory and
constructivism, this celebrated resource explains underlying
causes for child behavior, weaves numerous  infant/toddler,
preschool and primary classroom examples throughout, includes two
full chapters devoted to challenges stemming from children with
special physical or emotional needs, learning disabilities, or risk
factors due to poverty, violence, or loss, and many summary boxes
and graphic aids to prepare students in becoming experts in guiding
young children. The Enhanced Pearson eText features embedded
video.
