Managing difficult behaviour - Clare Pallett

A unique handbook that aims to provide foster carers with new skills to help them improve a child's behaviour. Full of useful tips, case examples and exercises, this handbook addresses key areas including: how to be good at giving praise; giving positive attention; establishing boundaries; using rewards; helping children learn from their actions; giving instructions and using time-out. The training set out in the handbook is based on the Fostering Changes Programme, established at the Maudsley Hospital, London, in 1999, and tried and tested by carers.
