Resource books often provide tips and tricks for managing challenging behaviors, but what happens when those tactics don't work? Most teachers give up. Push Past It! brings a raw, real, and at times funny approach to handling challenging behaviors and understanding why most behavior-management strategies don't work. Author Angela Searcy shares real-world examples, proven solutions, and new approaches to overcoming classroom disruptions using her PUSH PAST IT approach. Beyond behavioral-management strategies, Push Past It! will teach you how to:

See children's behavior as communication

Understand what is (and is not) developmentally appropriate behavior

Identify when to seek support

Communicate and listen more effectively

Help children overcome their own challenging behaviors

Take care of yourself too!
