No Such Thing as a Bad Kid

Book Author: Charlie Applestein

Written specifically for professionals who guide kids with emotional and behavioral challenges, the revised edition of No Such Thing as a Bad Kid is packed with positive, strength-based principles and techniques that help child-guiders to tap the greatness that exists in every young person to promote change. This empowering handbook opens by portraying misbehavior as a call for help. It then guides you through decoding the message and, via hundreds of hands-on tips, sample dialogues and anecdotes, into science-backed approaches for revolutionizing your interactions with kids at risk. Even parents of children not at risk will benefit from this book.
