With the current emphasis on including children with emotional and behavioral difficulties into the mainstream school every teacher needs to address the problem of children who behave badly in school. This new edition addresses the skills and strategies needed to support the emotional needs of pupils within the National Curriculum framework and school improvement agenda. Many of the activities in the book have direct application in the curriculum for Personal, Social and Health education and Citizenship and will support the whole class, not just those children identified as having behaviour difficulties.
