These worksheets and activities are for use with children who create low level disruption in the classroom. By encouraging young people to think about their behaviour and the effect of their actions in a constructively critical way, this resource offers a welcome alternative to sanctions and punishment.

This edition has been revised and now includes a session record sheet and more than 20 new activities. It also now focuses on interpersonal relationships, attention seeking and positive behaviours.

The worksheets are split into two types:

- Problem specific worksheets - designed to cover annoying everyday problems such as shouting out and name calling

- Target sheets - designed to support youngsters who need help to complete a number of tasks over part of a day or longer

This resource is suitable for staff working with primary and middle school aged children in settings such as schools, learning support units, play-schemes, before and after school clubs and mentoring groups.

Please Note: Computers need to have at least Pentium 4 installed for the CD function.

Children who struggle with their behaviour, just like those who struggle with an academic task such as learning to read or doing mathematical calculations, need extra, structured, support. This resource helps educational staff to teach young people to improve their behaviour without resorting to punishment or to strategies based on lost learning opportunities.

The ready-to-use worksheets encourage pupils to:

• understand their own behaviour

• see others point of view

• think about how the future might look

• consider the range of choices to action

• be aware of potential help and pitfalls

• plan a course of action

• check and review their progress.

These will help children to take responsibility for their actions - both those that get them in trouble and those that they can take to change their behaviour for the better.

For this new edition, the author has revised and expanded the whole book, and added 16 brand new worksheets. It is ideal for anyone working with pupils experiencing difficulty in school and can be used in group or individual work settings.
