Recent Product Reviews:

This book is packed with practical strategies, approaches and essential skills which are easy to access and written in Bill’s inimitable style, including the idiosyncratic illustrations he uses in his training events in the UK, Europe and Australia. This book is an excellent publication and I would highly recommend it for anyone working with young children in the 3-7 year age range.
Supporting Learning
We often think of behaviour management in terms of dealing with challenging behaviour, but Dr Rogers begins by looking at classroom organisation and whole-class strategies. Alongside the theory, he provides examples that create a much deeper understanding of exactly what works and what doesn’t.
