The Survival Guide for Kids With Behavior Challenges: How to Make Good Choices and Stay Out of Trouble (Survival Guides for Kids) Paperback – August 8, 2013

I work with elementary students with behavioral challenges placed in gen ed classrooms, to EI programs. This book is written in a way that speaks directly to the student and can be handed right over to them or you can make copies of pages. For me, it provided valuable insight and a way to relate to students that I hadn't considered. Worth the money and I was able to get through it in a day.

I teach 4th and 5th grade in an EBD classroom. This book is wonderful for my students. We are reading it as a class but it can easily be read on your own. I love that it gives real experiences and that it teaches my students different techniques to help then manage their behavior. My students have said more then once "that sounds like me" or "I have that problem too". It even has self evaluating quizes and different worksheets that I copy to have my student complete on their own. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a child with an emotional behavioral disorder.

Wonderful readings and prompts for meaningful discussions. I am a school counselor and use this with my students who have a negative view of their behaviors and like the feel of an insider on improving them.

Bought this for our ODD diagnosed daughter and make her read this instead of timeouts. Hoping it will help!

This book was so personal and addressed the misbehavior I bought it for.The author was relatable and realistic that my child giggles as she could see herself in some cases.We practiced the steps and she is much better today with her social skills.

Bought for elementary school but too wordy and more geared for teens. Better for adults to use as a guideline.

I purchased Kids with Behavior Challenges because I wanted to better understand how to manage my exceptional son. He has no diagnosed behavior issues, but he is extremely intellectual and intimidates his peers often, so he regularly finds himself lashing out in response to their actions. Recently he made a bad choice... A really bad choice and began acting out at home and at class. We used this book to better help understand how help him make better decisions on his own and how to stop escalating conversations before they become heated. This is a great book that covers a wide range of behavioral issues and how to keep you and your child moving in a positive direction with skills that will benefit you and them for the rest of your lives.

Great book
