Education for a Civil Society: Teaching Young Children to Gain Five Democratic Life Skills, Second Edition

About this book

Learning to Work Cooperatively and Respectfully with Others  

Democratic life skills are skills that enable all of us—children and adults alike—to be caring, thoughtful members of families, schools, communities, and societies. But these emotional and social skills  don’t  just happen. Teachers and families support and nudge young children toward them, using guidance techniques that calm and teach.  

Completely updated and revised, the second edition of this classic resource  provides  relatable anecdotes and practical strategies for teachers to understand  

  • Why building secure relationships with children and families is so important—and eight communication practices to build them  
  • How viewing misbehavior as  mistaken  behavior allows you to focus on helping a child learn better ways to meet their needs  
  • When and how to use specific guidance practices to promote children’s healthy personal development and social cooperation  
  • How an encouraging learning community helps everyone move toward achieving their potential  

Whether  you’re  a veteran teacher or just embarking on your teaching journey,   you’ll  find what you need in this book to provide young children with a solid foundation for their—and society’s—future.
