Read for school but it definitely is informative and can pertain to home changes if needed.

Our district uses the "The Tough Kid Toolbox" training for teachers. I actually went to it last year but I wanted to learn more by reading the book so I can have resources available to teachers who may be struggling. It definitely is a great go-to for techniques in managing problem behaviors. I've already suggested one or two of the techniques to one of the teachers.
