About the book: 2006 / In her book, the famous American teacher Michelle Borba examines the most important problem of pedagogy and child psychology - the re-education of a child. The author identifies 38 types of difficult behavior in children and, based on his rich professional experience, offers effective methods for overcoming them. Each behavior model is devoted to a separate chapter and a set of specific steps and measures. The goal of the proposed concept is to eradicate unwanted behavior patterns once and for all, replacing them with more acceptable ones. A separate chapter deals with the appropriateness and forms of punishing a child. Their use is meaningless without constant manifestation of love for the child and care for him. How exactly to manifest it is also discussed in the book. The author sees the ultimate goal in raising a harmoniously developed, mature and responsible personality. This book is a practical guide for parents, educators, and anyone interested in problems of pedagogy and psychology..
