Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-18 00:00:00 Waechter Madeleine This book provides some strategies teachers can try to decrease the oppositional-defiant behaviors in children. Some of the strategies are interesting and seem doable. Some of the strategies seem like they might be a stretch- a teacher may ask herself, "How much work am I willing to put in to reduce defiant behavior?" The philosophy of this book fits well with relationship-based programs such as Love & Logic or Restorative Practices, and is not as compatible with applied behavior analysis programs, such as PBIS. I didn't find this book particularly engaging- I am highly motivated to learn more about this topic, but I kept losing interest in this book. The authors seemed to have too broad an audience- alternately speaking to teachers, administrators, parents, even school policy-makers. I would have appreciated more an entire book for teachers. The authors' perspective on the realities of Special Education and the parent-school relationship seem outdated and unrealistic. My current two-star rating is based on my enjoyment in reading the book. After I have tried the strategies, if they help with my students, I will come back to update my review and give more stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-13 00:00:00 Chris Davis Read this to get insight on how to deal with a defiant preschooler. There were some helpful tips to try. Gave some insight as to why children are defiant. The tips seem pretty basic but implementing them with no emotion seems hard. Will definitely be using some of the techniques.
