Reviews

Spotlight on Young Children: Challenging Behavior provides perspective from numerous voices in the field, sorted into tiered practices from the pyramid model—preventive, targeted, and intensive and individualized. Throughout the collection, the guiding premise of cultivating environments that are relationally safe and culturally responsive is effectively conveyed. By integrating reflective questions and a message of self-care as foundational practices, this book is likely to be useful to both new and experienced early education professionals. —Anita Osborn, Licensed Educational Psychologist and Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist Everyone working with children and teachers is very aware of the dysregulation that children are exhibiting now more than ever, with behavior crying out for support and guidance. This latest excellent volume of NAEYC’s Spotlight on Young Children series is full of extremely applicable research and practical strategies that can support all of the areas educators are responsible for: tools to help us teachers stay regulated ourselves; tools to teach children about resilience and self-regulation; and tools to build compassionate classroom communities. —Joanie Calem, Inclusion Advocate and Workshop Presenter, First Do No Harm This resource has some very good advice for teachers and caregivers of young children, especially regarding cultural understanding and responsiveness. There are excellent suggestions for gaining an understanding of family practices and values as well as the cultures of children’s families. In addition, there are valuable tools for analyzing children’s challenging behavior with ways to reflect on how to respond. —Nora Krieger, Associate Professor Emerita, Bloomfield College of Montclair State University Spotlight on Young Children: Challenging Behavior offers a nuanced look at an increasingly important topic in early childhood. Each chapter provides professionals with new lenses and tools to help children learn and grow with patience and grace, even in the most difficult moments. —Adam Holland, Technical Assistance Specialist, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute
