Informative, artful, and fun, When Good Kids Go Bad: Effective Solutions for Problem Behaviors takes readers inside the minds of our troubled kids and teens. Whether they are mildly irritating or well out of control, readers will leave armed with a broad range of proven techniques to curb negative behaviors and encourage positive ones.
Therapists, parents, teachers, and all professionals interacting with these kids will have their questions answered and be given clear instructions on how to begin the road to behavioral and emotional change. Interventions are detailed for use in the home, the classroom, and/or the therapy office so that all adults can begin to march in stride and provide the structure needed to facilitate maximum growth. From the diagnostic process to medication interventions, no stone is left unturned.
