From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: There are many approaches to discipline available, but each has a fairly narrow and differing view of what motivates children and their misbehavior. Because no one model can work successfully for all children at all times, the task of this book is to show readers how to draw from various models and employ a variety of techniques. Key Topics: This book contains the largest number of current, popular discipline models, presenting nine different systems. Using the acclaimed Teacher Behavior Continuum model, the book analyzes the power dynamics inherent in each discipline model. The author also provides the reader with a "Beliefs About Discipline Inventory" in order to determine which discipline models fit their value system. Readers are given the tools to see the specific and concrete steps suggested by each model and to apply the techniques to real-life discipline situations. Market: Educators, administrators, school counselors, and parents.
