In this work experienced psychologist and child educator Virginia Shiller explains why it works to \"\"catch them doing something good\"\". Reward, not bribery, is the key. Shilller shows parents how to use a variety of child-friendly sticker charts and other tools to reward kids for good behaviour. This proven-positive parenting technique has been used to help kids overcome such common behaviour problems as bedtime procrastination and sleep disturbances, getting along with siblings or friends, getting ready for school and other events on time, doing chores, and completing homework without fuss. In clear, easy steps, parents will learn how to change their children's problem behaviour using an individualized plan that will help each child feel good about their new accomplishments. The many pull-out charts, awards and certificates are designed for both boys and girls, ensure plenty of variety and can be personalized by colouring and decorating them with photos and stickers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APA LIFETOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599298044151,"sku":"9781591470069","price":44.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781591470069.jpg?v=1774737094"},{"product_id":"9781591470076","title":"Stress in Policing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Stress in Policing, psychologist Hans Toch makes the daily challenges, joys, and frustrations of police work come alive. Told in candid and uncensored interviews, the realities of \"keeping the peace\" reveal sources of sustenance and stress that are often contrary to popular wisdom. Given that today's police force is increasingly diverse, race and gender issues are shown to be sources of stress. However, the dangers on the street are far less stressful than departmental politics and top-down management practices.  The book combines both qualitative and quantitative methods in which police officers, aided by Toch and his research team, designed and conducted their own survey of the rewards and stresses of the job. This innovative method of study identified not only problems but also significant organizational changes that could lead to enhanced job satisfaction. Toch's gentle probing provides new insights into the often misunderstood world of the law-enforcement officer and challenges departmental administrators to find creative ways of initiating institutional reform.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599298076919,"sku":"9781591470076","price":47.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781591470076.jpg?v=1774737095"},{"product_id":"9781591470595","title":"All about Adoption","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the child who already understands the concept of adoption, this work provides a deeper understanding of how the adoption process works and the feelings that many children have about being adopted.

The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) recognized that this problem does not arise anew in adolescence, but in fact has roots in childhood. CSAP identified four critical predictors from childhood for substance use that could be valuable targets for prevention of adolescent substance use: parental management of and involvement with the child, and the child's social competence, self-regulation, and school achievement. In this book, the editors bring together a body of intervention research into a practical guide that shows how seven selected prevention programs address these risk factors. After introducing the developmental and setting factors that affect risk for substance use, a general framework for translating this research into practice is provided. Chapters describing each intervention contain user-friendly explanations of the theoretical basis, intended population, methods and procedures, and critical implementation characteristics of each program and summarize how it was tested and shown to reduce risk for substance abuse. Illustrative case examples are woven throughout the text, showing the benefits gained from the approach. The book is organized to describe interventions that apply to participants at differing developmental periods. Chapters include programs for universal or general population and for high risk youth and families. The included chapters cover programs developed and tested for a variety of ethnic and cultural groups across varying locations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599301124343,"sku":"9781591473077","price":57.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781591473077.jpg?v=1774737235"},{"product_id":"9781591473848","title":"Imagine a Rainbow","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a child is in pain, imagining scenes that are soothing or uplifting may help reduce the discomfort. \u003cem\u003eImagine a Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e is a beautiful tool for introducing children to the idea of using their imaginations to cope with pain, whether by itself or as part of a more comprehensive pain management plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes an extensive Note to Parents that explains the techniques of imagery and deep breathing, and how to help children use them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"MAGINATION PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599301746935,"sku":"9781591473848","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781591473848.jpg?v=1774737261"},{"product_id":"9781591474418","title":"Emotionally Focused Therapy with Couples","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \"\"Emotionally Focused Therapy With Couples\"\", Leslie S.

A book you'll want to share with every family you know, Optimistic Parenting helps parents and other caregivers develop more positive thoughts and perceptions - a key ingredient of successful parenting and effective behaviour management. With keen insight, gentle humour, and practical tools and strategies, Mark Durand delivers both philosophical hope and practical help to parents of children with a wide range of challenges. He guides parents step by step through the process of:    * Pinpointing the \"why\" behind challenging behaviour.  * Tuning in to their own thoughts, emotions, and self-talk.  * Understanding how their thoughts affect their interactions with their child.  * Interrupting negative thoughts and replacing them with positive, productive ones.  * Achieving a healthy balance between taking care of their own needs and their child's needs.  * Using effective emergency strategies when quick behaviour intervention is needed.  * Implementing long-term strategies for lasting behaviour improvements.  * Weaving functional communication training into everyday routines and interactions.  * Addressing the most common problem areas, such as sleep and transitions.  * Increasing mindfulness and parenting \"in the moment\".    Engaging stories from the author's extensive experience illustrate how parents and other caregivers can develop more effective behaviour management techniques. And practical tools and exercises, developed and tested during Durand's decades of work with thousands of parents, help families on their own journey to better parenting and happier lives. A lifeline for overwhelmed parents - and a great source of insight for the professionals who work with them - this highly motivating guidebook will help families reduce children's challenging behaviours and approach the future with optimism and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BROOKES PUBLISHING CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599311085815,"sku":"9781598570526","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781598570526.jpg?v=1774737684"},{"product_id":"9781598570595","title":"Relationship-Centered Practices in Early Childhood","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrong working relationships with diverse families and children are the foundation of successful early intervention.
