@SUMMARY= Relational Discipline: Strategies for In-Your-Face Kids is a practical guide to effective discipline for the classroom. The focus on discipline involves moving beyond behavioral strategies and focusing on the relationship between the pupil and the teacher. Dr. Bender argues that this relationship is the missing, yet most important, component in today's disciplinary approaches. Tactics are tailored for children with a range of behavioral issues, including kids with attention problems, clingy kids, and defiant/consistently aggressive kids. The practical focus of these chapters, and the emphasis on strategies that can be used in the "real world" of today's classrooms, effectively separate this disciplinary book from the others.Tactics such as responsibility strategies, peer confrontation, and self-monitoring are presented and discussed developmentally, with specific recommendations for kids at certain ages. The final chapter offers a series of strategies to focus on classroom climate to help the teacher pull these tactics together and reorient the classroom into a relational discipline classroom.
