'Well edited and short, the essays are easy to read and fit in to a busy life…The honest and thoughtful reflections of the teachers provide a sense of hope that prosocial behaviour is achievable and not a dream!' - Youth in Mind

'It's easy to see why Bill Rogers is revered by generations of teachers across the world. The stories assembled here are compelling and reflective. They will provide a stimulus and support to teachers 'cutting and chipping themselves into the shape of the key which will have the merit of unlocking the minds and opening the hearts' of the pupils they teach. Bill's overview and commentary will as usual resonate with schools and teachers. It deserves a place along with his other books in the staff library. Any one of the case studies here, along with Bill's observations, could form the basis of any school working group examining the issue of 'behaviour'. It's bound to lead to an improvement among pupils parents and staff. And it will help teachers at the end of their tether both preserve their sanity and extend the tether!' - Sir Tim Brighouse, Advisor, Hamlyn Foundation and Visiting Professor, Institute of Education, University of London

I find Bill Rogers a great read, entertaining even though it's a text book.

This is a well written and interesting book. I would certainly recommend it to students - it is accessible and clearly written.

This is a very useful text for trainee teachers who are struggling to get to grips with behaviour management.

My students are always concernd about children who are particulary hard to manage. This book tackles the issues well and helps guide students to understadning the bigger picture which may surround a childs difficulties. I was particularly keen on the chapter that gives insights into supporting parents. I think this is a valuable chapter. The book does not offer easy solutions, as I do not think there are any. It might have included some further reference to the potential roles of other professionals. I recommend this to students who are looking for support with more severe types of behaviour management issues

A very useful book for the module entitled: The Psychological, Social and Emotional Aspects of Behaviour. Bill Rogers is the Master of Behaviour Management and it is really useful to have this up-to-date book. Examples and case studies are really useful to demonstrate how to modify or support different behaviours. A very easy to read book, written for practitioners. We already use Rogers and McPherson's book "Behaviour Management with Young Children" for the Foundation Degree in Early Years so were pleased that this one has been produced.
