The volume, in the style of a Teacher Training notebook, offers kindergarten teachers ready-to-use instructions and the most effective strategies to manage a child with hyperactivity, impulsivity and Inattention, to successfully deal with 15 typical problem behaviours, including those related to emotional aspects. It helps to recognize the communicative meaning of certain behaviours and to organize environments and activities that allow the child to express themselves freely by recognizing boundaries tuned into their needs, indispensable premises for developing both the pleasure of being attentive and the ability to put on the brakes at the appropriate moment.
Structure of the book
The book is divided into 4 macro-sections: Hyperactivity, Impulsivity, Inattention and Emotional aspects, and consists of 15 chapters, each of which analyzes a very common problematic situation. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a bullet-point summary in which some possible explanations of the problematic behaviour under consideration are outlined: Why does he/she do this?
This is followed by brief and simple indications that may be useful to the teacher as a reference point for quickly deciding What to do and reflect on What to avoid, along with a more detailed description of the specific problem behaviour we are working on: Analysis of problematic behaviour.
Finally, the tools and educational strategies to carry out the intervention are outlined in more detail: How to intervene.
The book is completed by the “Observation Chart”, present in the Appendix, and the paragraph, present in each chapter, The educational pact, which contains some ideas to support parents in the educational path of their children.
Each chapter ends with Expert advice: reflections often gained during clinical practice that are useful for understanding and further enriching the teacher’s “suitcase of educational tools”.
