Practitioners recognise how important it is to make an early identification of children with EBD, and this book provides guidance for all those working in early years settings. The book's inclusive appraoch seeks to promote positive rather than negative behaviour in all children. The book includes: an easy-to-use screening proforma; an analysis of the root causes of EBD; practical strategies to encourage positive behaviour in the classroom; and suggestions on how to make these strategies fit in with the national curriculum.
