Product Description
Kids who are labeled BD (or ED, EBD, or SED) struggle every day—with their peers, teachers, parents, and themselves. It’s no fun to be labeled, and nobody wants to have behavior problems. Often, however, kids who get in trouble a lot don’t know how else to act. This book can help them improve their behavior and their lives.Modeled after our best-selling SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR KIDS WITH LD, THE BEHAVIOR SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR KIDS guides readers to better understand themselves and the problems their behavior creates. "Dr. Mac" describes what BD is (and isn’t), the types and causes of BD, and special school programs for kids with BD. He suggests many strategies kids can use to handle strong feelings and make positive choices. Stories and quotes from real kids let readers know they’re not alone; Idea! boxes present activities for practicing new ways to behave. Kids learn to believe in themselves, take responsibility for their actions, make smarter choices, and enjoy the results of their better behavior. Includes a glossary and a list of additional resources for kids. An extensive list of resources for parents and teachers is available as a free download from the Free Spirit Web site. |

Helps kids make good choices by Miss Penny (Bossier City, LA)  5 Stars
September 12, 2009
This book is written in a language that a child will understand. The author has gotten down to their level to let them know that just because they have a learning difficulty doesn't mean they can't make good choices. As a mental health therapist, I'm always on the lookout for material that will get my point across creatively - and this book fits that criteria!

jumps around too much by Sarah C. Eccles (Connecticut, USA)  2 Stars
January 07, 2009
This book was suppose to be designed for children that are identified as SED or ADHD, yet I found myself (as a professional) getting confused. It would mention a topic in one chapter but follow up with 'we'll read more about that in another chapter.' Not good for many of the kids this book was made for.
