Getting Your Little Darlings to Behave (Paperback, New edition)

The success of Sue Cowley's Getting the Buggers to Behave, a guide to managing behavior in the classroom, produced a number of interesting consequences. In her travels to promote the book, Cowley met a number of teachers who bought her book, not to use at school but to use at home as an aid to handling their own children. In speaking engagements and interviews, she kept hearing that "your ideas would work for parents too." There was a general sense that a teacher hardened by teaching 30+ kids at a time must know a thing or two--and parents wanted access to the professional insider's knowledge. Applying the same principles that Cowley developed as a professional educator, Getting Your Darlings to Behave is the guide to child behavior that Cowley's fans have eagerly awaited.
