Democratic life skills are skills that enable all of us-children and adults alike-to be caring, thoughtful members of families, schools, communities, and societies. But these emotional and social skills don't just happen. Teachers and families support and nudge young children toward them, using guidance techniques that calm and teach. Completely updated and revised, the second edition of this classic resource provides relatable anecdotes and practical strategies for teachers to understand: 1.
