Families

Families - Applications of Social Learning to Family Life helps parents recognise the crucial role they play in shaping their children's behaviour.

The first half of the book examines reinforcement and contracts as the basis for behaviour management programmes. The second half focuses on applications of social learning principles. In addition to addressing common problems such as whining and temper tantrums, the book offers practical advice on more complex problems such as aggression and stealing.

The book is broken down into five sections:
• Social Learning: Keys to Behavior Change
• Behavior Management Skills
• Applications to Ordinary Management Problems
• Child Management Problems
• Applications to More Complicated Management Problems

Age: Primary

"The material is well arranged, theoretical concepts being explained and then followed by precise and specific directions for their practical application."
