Learning from Behavior : How to Understand and Help Challenging Children in School

Behavior often represents what a child cannot communicate, due to language limitations, level of psychological development, or traumatic experience. Levine shows us how to observe, question, and think about children's problem behaviors in school from the child's perspective so we can understand what is motivating children to act as they do before we intervene. Cases included in this book range from noncompliance and poor academic performance to disinhibition, suspected ADHD, PTSD, and injury-caused acting out.
