Teach social skills and enrich classrooms to reduce problem behaviors and nurture growth. When teachers create environments that teach skills rather than punish individual actions, they reduce behavior problems and nurture the growth of all learners. This book expertly guides early childhood teachers to analyze their classroom elements, routines, and responses to children. Much like gardeners who adjust soil, water, or fertilizer to help flowers bloom, educators of young children must look beyond challenging behaviors to what a child’s actions are communicating about her learning environment or home life. Digital content includes all forms from the book along with a PDF presentation. A free PLC/Book Study Guide for use with communities of practice is available at freespirit.com/PLC.

"STIFLE" is a moody , abrubt story of mental illness, horrific abuse and a young girl trying to live through it all. Based in part on the author's own life, and reading as stylized fiction, "Stifle" kidnaps the reader from the first page, then holds them hostage as they embark on a journey to bi polar hill country, where Violet Cussins is holed up in her room, contemplating suicide. Once a "good apple", but now bitter as bile and rotten to the core, we see the events that have blighted her soul, and brought her to suicidal desperation. Shockingly graphic, compellingly written, "Stifle" is book of sadness and madness that will haunt. Illustrated by L. E. Mae with ethereal sketches, and told with caustic nostagia, "Stifle" is a gripping, gutty book that has "BEST SELLER" written into it.
