When Nothing Else Works

This is a book for early childhood professionals that addresses challenging behaviors in the classroom.  Now, it reads much like a textbook (maybe it is used as one) but contains much useful information.  The book is divided into chapters that help look at behaviors from multiple views including personality, needs, environment, and reactions.  It gives well-documented proof that the views it puts forth are sound principles.  The one short-coming is that everything in it is quite generalized.  Of course, this is necessary in a textbook situation where you are trying to equip a beginning teacher with tools to enter the classroom with, but it would be frustrating to a seasoned professional who may not be able to tell where to look for answers to an ongoing issue because they do not know where a behavior stems from.    That being said, I believe this text would be a welcome addition to early childhood curriculums and many parents could benefit from reading it as well.
