Lost at School by Ross Greene

TITLE: Lost at School: Why Our Kids with Behavioral Challenges Are Falling Through the Cracks and How We Can Help Them

AUTHOR: Dr. Ross Greene

FORMAT: BOOK

LOCATION CODE: BEH440 and BEH441

GENERAL INFO: School discipline is broken. Too often, the kids who need our help the most are viewed as disrespectful, out of control, and beyond help, and their behaviors as attention-seeking, limit-testing, and manipulative. The kids, their parents, and their teachers are frustrated and desperate for answers.

In this book, Dr. Ross W. Greene presents an enlightened and practical alternative. Relying on research from the neuro-sciences, he offers parents and teachers a different framework for understanding challenging behavior and a better way to help these kids. When adults use his Collaborative Problem Solving approach to identify the lagging skills and unsolved problems that set the stage for challenging behavior and they work collaboratively to teach those skills and solve those problems, kids overcome their obstacles; the frustration of teachers, parents , and classmates diminishes; and the well-being and learning of all students are enhanced.
