Review # 1 was written on 2007-11-18 00:00:00 Willie Payne I have done a lot of reading about working with students who are difficult. More and more in our business, our students are coming to us with challenges that we were just not trained to handle and our support systems within schools are becoming less and less available. Almost all of the reading I have done is about the strategies available to me to use with the students either in prevention or reaction to students' behaviour. They have been valuable reading and have added to my bag of tricks. This book was different though. This book was more about me, as the teacher, than about the students. Although the book in no way excuses student behaviour, it challenges the reader to reflect on what we bring to the conflict. It is written on the premise that the only behaviour we can truly control is our own. It goes through several examples of how our words, behaviours, tone of voice, past experiences and attitude can affect our interactions with students. This book gives helpful suggestions of how we can become aware of these things and change. In the end, it also gives the reader permission to let some things go...

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-02 00:00:00 John-ruhne Nilsen Most of the book covered theory I already knew about, and there reaches a point in time when being reminded you can only change yourself isn't helpful. But the last chapter has some practical applications and there is an extensive resource list. Maybe I will be able to get more good ideas from one of them.
