"Why don't children behave anymore?"
· What is behaviour?
· Why do adults get involved with children's behaviour?
· And why don't we need 'behaviour management' anymore?
The Busker's Guide to Behaviour takes a unique look at the theory and practice of working with children's behaviour in group settings. It sets out a new approach to thinking about 'behaviour' and how professionals can help - or hinder - children to meet the behaviour expectations of the setting. It encourages adults to apply some lateral thinking to some old chestnuts and gives practical advice on working with children.
