Some students are perceived by educators as "difficult" to manage. Working with them can be exhausting and frustrating at times. Such children can refuse to complete social or educational tasks, complain of being misunderstood or unappreciated, be argumentative, pessimistic, sullen, or withdrawn, criticize or disrespect authority, resent others, or display verbal or physical defiance. Unfortunately, because of the behavioral challenges they present to educators, these students sometimes do not receive the support and encouragement they need to succeed. This book contains collections of ready-to-use strategies and activities for unlocking their potential. Learn "best strategies" for reaching and helping attention-seekers, aggressive students, manipulators, or apathetic students.

This book also provides many innovative ideas for managing and surviving the "difficult classroom". Helpful insights into home issues and other underlying causes of difficult behaviors are included.
