Publisher's Synopsis
Based on a cognitive problem-solving approach, this book addresses the urgent need for children to acquire competence in meeting the demands of childhood within social, school, and family parameters. The book is designed for children from kindergarten through middle school whose behaviour is impulsive, oppositional, or aggressive. Recognising that a great deal of children's behaviour is tied to problem-solving, the volume focuses on how children solve instrumental and relational issues in differing social settings.
