Guidance of Young Children
Promote positive child guidance and management strategies
Written in a conversational style, yet solidly grounded in child development theory and research, Guidance of Young Children , 10th Edition focuses on positive and developmentally appropriate guidance of young children.
Based on the author’s belief that adults need to have realistic expectations of children, the book emphasizes understanding young children’s development in addition to major guidance theories. Real-world examples and case studies illustrate guidance in action, while analysis and application activities give readers a chance to construct their own basic approach to child guidance. With this foundation in place, teachers are encouraged to think critically and make intentional, informed decisions that positively impact the children in their care.
The 10th Edition enhances its focus on positive guiding strategies with new information about the authoritative caregiving style, an emphasis on encouragement over praise, additional information about the high rate of childcare and preschool expulsions, and more school-based examples at the pre-K and K level.

I had to read this for a Guiding Behavior of Young Children class and was fairly impressed with how much this textbook covered in a little over 300 pages. The chapters were easy to follow and reasonable in length. The information was also explained clearly with good examples of what the author was talking about. I enjoyed this as a guide during my fall quarter.

So, full disclosure, I didn't read all of this. It was a textbook for a class I was taking so I only read the chapters that were assigned. However, everything I read was super good and helpful. I definitely recommend it. I also had the online subscription. I found the embedded videos and extra questions interesting and helpful as well.
