Reviewed by Michael Pettavel, head of Randolph Beresford Early Years Centre, London
This new book by Jennie Lindon takes a thorough and informative approach to understanding behaviour in all the contexts of children and young people. She has taken a robust attitude towards how we play a part in other people's behaviour, making this a reflective read that prevents us from falling into many of the 'reactive' strategies that are so common in nurseries and schools.
We are encouraged to think about different scenarios through 'Look, Listen, Note, Learn' sections in each chapter that provide a good basis for trainers and advisors as well as practitioners and settings to encourage conversation and contemplation about situations that are not necessarily clear or straightforward.
