Product Description
Book Description
What is normal behavior for a preschool child? Where do difficult behaviors come from? Why does it seem like everyone elses children are so well behaved and mine so unruly?
In this practical, highly useful book for providers, teachers and parents, Deborah Hewitt examines sixteen challenging behaviors, each with its own chapter, such as:
- Separating From Mom
- Lying
- Sexual Curiosity
- Toilet Training
In each chapter, the author looks at each behavior through the eyes of both the provider or teacher and the parent and provides a method for all to focus on the behavior and jointly develop a plan for teaching the behavior skills the child needs.
In So This Is Normal Too, the author also shows us how to set aside our emotions and value judgments which cloud objectivity as she facilitates much needed communication between parents and providers in this sensitive area.

Great Book for changing young children negative behaviors., Dec 20 2010
By PenandInk "Calligrapher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: So This Is Normal Too (Pb) (Paperback)
This is a great book for Child Care Workers in trying to change the negative behaviors of young children. The best part of the book shows you how to develop "A Plan for Action" and the author give you the freedom to photocopied "Parent(s) and Provider Action Form" and also the part where she suggest "When to Get Help."Each chapter has "For Providers(childcare worker)" and for "Parents" observe and Problem solving section. I like that this book encourage the Provider to work together with the Parent to try to change the child's negative behavior.
