When the behaviour of young children causes concern, practitioners often find it difficult to identify exactly what the child's needs are or how to focus their support most effectively. This book helps meet this challenge. Its inclusive approach seeks to promote positive behaviour in all children. The book includes:

• a straightforward assessment process to identify children who need additional support
• practical strategies to encourage positive behaviour and promote emotional well being
• informative case studies that show how solutions work in practice.

This book is an ideal resource for all early years practitioners working across a variety of settings for young children.
