Includes bibliographical references and index.
Learning to work cooperatively and respectfully with others. 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. Why building secure relationships with children and families is so important-and eight communication practices to build them. 2. How viewing misbehavior as mistaken behavior allows you to focus on helping a child learn better ways to meet their needs. 3. When and how to use specific guidance practices to promote children's healthy personal development and social cooperation. 4. How to create an encouraging learning community that helps everyone move toward achieving their potential.
