Attention Seeking

A Complete Guide for Teachers

About this book

This new edition of Nigel Mellor?s bestselling book ?Attention Seeking? is focused specifically on solving the distressing problems raised by attention seeking behaviour, both in classrooms and in pre-school settings. Useful both as a reference and a practical guide, the book can help practitioners meet the requirements of ?Every Child Matters?.

Drawing on over 20 years experience working with teachers and parents, the author?s approach is down to earth, encouraging and challenging. The second edition has a new easy to follow layout, with chapters containing practical points, new case study materials and updated references. Other brand new features include:

- a 10 steps programme setting out clear strategies to use

- material on the use of stories

- discussion of problems with time-out

- cutting-edge coverage of ADHD, chaos, autism, language problems and attachment

- ideas for managing parent meetings in school.

Written for staff in nurseries and schools (mainstream and special), and for lecturers and researchers in departments of education, this book is ideal for anyone wanting to understand more about attention seeking and reduce this unwanted behaviour in the young people they work with.
