This user-friendly book can be used in a variety of ways depending on the knowledge and experience of the practitioner. It offers guidance for those wishing to update or improve their understanding of children's social behaviour learning while at the same time operating as a simple training manual.

There are six chapters, each with key focused questions at the beginning.

The chapters are easy to read and delivered with a positive approach and with information that can be readily understood, along with guidance on analysis that should form the basis for embedding good practice in any setting. The reader is given ample opportunity to reflect on their own practice.
