A thorough exploration of children''s behaviour from a child-centred point of view, showing how children learn to be with others, and strategies practitioners can use to support this development.

Many Early Years settings are taking in children for longer periods and at a younger age. However, their day-to-day practice has not necessarily changed and instead leads to the ''management'' of behaviour, rather than investigating why the behaviour is taking place.

Through a combination of practice, theory and reflection, leading Early Years education consultant Penny Tassoni explores children''s behaviour from a child-centred point of view. In doing so, she shows how, over time, children learn to be with others and the strategies that adults can use to positively support this development.

Understanding Children''s Behaviour is a practical handbook that is accessible and adaptable for Early Years practitioners looking to support children''s behaviour by focusing on their personal and social skills. It includes a useful A-Z problem-solving section about dealing with unwanted behaviours for analysis and to guide practice.
