In 15-Minute Focus: Behavior Interventions, Amie Dean gives educators, counselors, and parents knowledge, strategies, and resources to teach children and teens how to communicate and make decisions to get their needs met in positive ways through behavior instruction and coaching. If a child or teen is struggling to manage emotions or make good choices, it is rarely because they want to be bad or disrespectful. Most adults look for the right way or a magic formula that will transform challenging students, with no luck on finding one. Impacting behavioral change in another person is hard work, and every individual has unique needs and circumstances that should be considered. This book will help you view childrens words and actions as a lack of coping skills in the moment, or a skill deficit that can be taught and improved.Youll discover: The function of behaviorWays to rethink responses to behaviorDe-escalation techniquesSteps to create a trauma-sensitive classroomPrinciples for a positive classroomActionable strategies, curated resources, and more!This guide will ask you to consider that there is likely a barrier keeping children from being successful, and it is our opportunity as the adults who care for them to help them through it.Amie Dean, M.Ed., B.A. has worked in education since 1993.
