Positive Behaviour Support Strategies for Students with Anxious Behaviours

We all feel anxious from time to time, but some children experience anxious behaviours that impact their time in the classroom. When a child has problematic anxiety, their prolonged fear and worry can negatively affect how they function academically and socially and engage with people and activities. Supporting children who exhibit anxious behaviours can leave teachers feeling overwhelmed, unprepared and unsure of how to respond. Does this sound familiar? Positive Behaviour Support Strategies for Students with Anxious Behaviours: A Step by Step Guide to Assessing, Managing and Preventing Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties is a highly practical book that can be used by educators in childcare, preschool, schools and community services to learn the evidence-based approach of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) to assess, manage and prevent challenging behaviours in children of all ages who experience problematic anxiety. Use the templates, bank of practical strategies and framework for developing a behaviour support plan so that all staff supporting a child can respond to challenging behaviours effectively and efficiently in a planned, safe and least disruptive manner. This book will educate, empower and enable you to help your child learn positive ways of behaving and managing their emotions, so they can spend more time learning and developing, and you can spend more time doing what you do best: teaching.
