Educating children is a challenging and important role. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives. With an increasing trend of challenging behaviour in children, teachers and other key people in a child’s life are under pressure to understand socio-emotional developments and triggers. In classrooms, challenging behaviours can cause chaos and disruption, which is why it is essential to be able to manage such behaviours effectively, preventing future incidents. This collection of books will help you to understand what children are communicating through their behaviour, whilst providing guidance on how to establish appropriate behaviour guidelines and strategies for the most challenging behaviours.

Many adults, eager to help children with challenging behaviours, often find themselves trapped in the cycle of addressing the 'what' without truly understanding the 'why'. 'Challenging the Story' by Dave Jereb takes readers on a transformative journey to uncover the root causes behind such behaviours. It explores an empathetic approach to working with children that transcends mere reactions and paves the way for lasting positive change. 'Challenging the Story' aims to change mainstream attitudes towards difficult behaviours which are often misconstrued as ‘acting out’ or aggression. It is a practical guide for parents, educators, health professionals, and any other key person who plays a role in looking after a child. Throughout, Dave helps readers better recognise the context of children’s behaviours, empathise, change their own assumptions and constructively respond to situations in ways that can transform a child’s behaviour and their entire life trajectory. An educational allegory that blends real-world experiences with strategies that have transformed the lives of many children and their families, 'Challenging The Story' is a thoughtfully-crafted introduction to understanding neurodivergent children. It combines heart-filled examples with practical wisdom and realistic advice. 'Challenging The Story' emphasises the importance of viewing children’s actions not simply as behaviours, but as a language - a manifestation of their underlying capacities, experiences and environment. By challenging their own initial interpretations of children’s behaviours, readers have the power to successfully guide children towards a new and empowering narrative.

In 'How to Manage Children's Challenging Behaviour', Bill Rogers brings together contributions from practising teachers that suggest ways to tackle very challenging behaviour in schools such as bullying, violence and behaviour disorders. All teachers face similar disruptions in the classroom, such as calling out and interrupting, but this book addresses the more serious issues. Bill introduces and comments on each chapter, setting out his key principles for behaviour leadership in the style that makes him such a popular author. There are numerous case studies drawn from practice, in each case showing how the teacher managed the situation and what the outcome was, and these examples from practice highlight the difference teachers can make to their students' behaviour, attitude, self-esteem and peer acceptance. Chapters look at: finding a way back from inappropriate behaviour; dealing with challenging behaviour day after day; creating a peaceful school; focusing on the positives; the importance of the teacher-pupil relationship; taking an holistic view of the child, and how this helps reduce disruptive behaviour. The direct, practical and inspirational nature of these accounts will resonate with all teachers and school support staff working with any age group. Based on the everyday experiences of the teachers who have written them, these are teachers' voices offering sound advice and guidance to fellow teaching professionals.
