Omtale

Keys to Behaviour in the Early Years is your must-have guidebook for supporting children in learning about emotions, regulation and self-control. Teachers and parents are often encouraged to manage behaviour and demand compliance with rules. Keys to Behaviour in the Early Years brings a fresh and inspiring perspective to conversations around behaviour, focusing on creating environments and relationships based on curiosity and connection. Compassionate, neuro-affirming, inclusive and meaningful, this book is filled with relatable information and practical strategies that will create a space where children can thrive and their individual needs are met. Behaviour consultant and trainer Sarah Emerson explores a variety of topics, including making sense of complex behaviours, emotionally safe connection, supporting specific challenges and being a child's safe person. Discover how children's nervous systems experience safety, why some children struggle more than others, and why 'calm' isn't always the aim.
