Description

How do I manage an aggressive child positively when I have twenty other children who need my attention? How can I develop a good relationship with a child I seem to dislike? How do I maintain a positive working relationship with the parents of a disturbed and disturbing child? Written in a jargon-free, readable style, with many real life examples, Review "A valuable tool covering a vast array of case studies to help playworkers understand the complexities of childhood psychology and provide the best possible care in a comfortable and secure environment."--Amanda Argent, Chief Executive Officer "The clever use of practical examples to highlight causes and effects of children's behaviour makes this book highly accessible to front-line practitioners. Specific information about this age group is scarce and I particularly liked the way in which difficult issues are dealt with, in context of the 8-12 year olds' experience and fears, and through discussions by playworkers as they address the situations. Acknowledging behaviour as a language, the author introduces a refreshing honesty about interactions in out-of-school clubs, reflecting the excitement, struggles and changing relationships that are the stuff of life for playworkers. Essential reading for everyone working with middle years children!"--Jackie Nunns, CEO "This book is a wonderful compendium of practical wisdom about working with children in a particular setting. But like all the most interesting writing about working with children it will engage anyone who wants to know something new just about the experience of being, and being with, children. Playworkers are likely to become more and more significant in children's lives; and [this book], at last gives them their due. "--Adam Phillips, psychoanalyst and writer "This much needed book will be invaluable in helping playworkers respond positively to the children in their clubs. The case studies bring the book to life and will prove a practical resource when confronted with the myriad of emotions and behaviours that children and young people display."--Annette Rawstrone, Assistant Editor About the Author Clifford-Poston, Andrea
