Miller's POSITIVE CHILD GUIDANCE, 9th Edition, is ideal for child guidance, discipline, behavior management and classroom management courses in an early childhood education curriculum. It outlines workable steps for creating a cooperative, respectful community of children and adults with special emphasis on sensitivity to cultural needs, differences, social justice and developmentally appropriate practice. Students learn a range of practical, effective and flexible guidance strategies based on principles of straightforward communication, respect and assertiveness. Updated with critical advances in research and new NAEYC standards, the 9th Edition addresses cultural trends that are changing the way children from birth to 12 are cared for and educated in today's homes and schools. What Do You Think boxes sharpen critical thinking skills, and Brain Facts boxes highlight current neurological findings.

What's New

  • NEW NAEYC STANDARDS COVERAGE: Emphasis on the new NAEYC standards includes a chapter-opening list that helps students quickly find coverage of key standards, while NAEYC and DAP icons identify standards-related content throughout the book, and NAEYC standards correlation charts help students make connections between what they are learning in the text and the standards.
  • "WHAT DO YOU THINK?" BOXES: Featured midway through each chapter and correlated to the learning objectives, "What Do You Think?" boxes encourage open-ended critical thinking and reflection as students progress through each chapter. Special icons draw learners' attention to behavior and social justice issues.
  • UP-TO-DATE BRAIN FACTS: Thoroughly updated, Brain Facts boxes equip students with current neurological findings that affect our understanding of how children learn as well as offer insight on how early child educators can most effectively guide them.
  • CURRENT COVERAGE OF MISBEHAVIOR PREVENTION: Early childhood programs can play an important role in addressing the underlying needs that are essential for positive child development. Positive guidance as presented in this book is based on meeting children's basic underlying needs to develop their internal capacity to live healthfully, to respect others and to be responsible for their actions.
  • UPDATED WEB-BASED RESOURCES: Each chapter includes recommended websites relevant to the topics being discussed, giving students trustworthy resources to continue exploring key concepts.

Features

In addition, numerous examples designated throughout the text help students understand how they can apply their new competences in real-world situations.
