Meeting the Challenge

"This book is clearly written, not smothered in statistics, full of good and useful information and, most importantly, suggestions that make sense and strategies that can be learned."

Research has shown that early intervention can help preschool children with aggressive and antisocial behaviour to learn alternatives to violent behaviour and thus help to prevent more serious problems later in life.

Meeting the Challenge: Effective Strategies for Challenging Behaviours in Early Childhood Environments, written by Barbara Kaiser and Judy Sklar Rasminsky, teaches adults who work on the front lines with young children and their families how to provide the effective early intervention that researchers see as key.  Meeting the Challenge compiles expertise from research and practice in many fields, including neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and special education to provide information on proactive programs in social skills, empathy, impulse control and anger management.

This user-friendly, attractive, 40-page publication is popular among Early Childhood Education programs at several Canadian colleges and universities who have incorporated it into their programs as integral course material.  Meeting the Challenge is available in both English and French.
