Simple but Effective: A Guide to Managing your Child's Behaviour

A concise yet comprehensive manual for the behaviour management of children of all ages.

After months of editing and re-editing, the Peter Allerton Behaviour Management guide for parents is finally here.

Welcome to this ‘manual’ of parenting hints, tips and strategies on how to help your child with their behaviour and learning at home.

Over 20 years in the making, I’ve been looking for ideas throughout my teaching career, ‘cherry picking’ the most practical and effective ones for this book (in which I try to avoid any jargon or dense theory). Every suggestion is tried and tested – this aims to be a practical guide, not an academic thesis.

Having worked closely with thousands of students and their parents over the years, I sincerely hope you will find at least something useful to assist you in probably the most important and challenging (and definitely worst paid) job in the world!

These positive behaviour strategies can be effective with children of any age, background or temperament.
