About this PDF

Go deeper than first principles: tell monitoring, screening and assessment apart; understand attachment, temperament, stress and executive function; and turn a tricky moment into a small, careful test. This 31-page illustrated English guide for parents, carers and teachers builds on the Beginner edition through eight chapters: Monitoring, Screening and Getting Help; Attachment in Depth; Temperament and Fit; Brain, Stress and Protection; Executive Function and Self-Regulation; How Children Think: Three Classic Accounts; Behaviour: Teaching, Not Punishing; and Evidence, Review and Getting Help. Each chapter opens with a question, explains ideas with named public sources, and ends with an exercise to do. An Advanced Watching Log at the back helps you record what you see and check a change fairly, and a glossary explains the field's terms in plain language. Where a method is the book's own design, the book says so; where it draws on a public source, the source is named. Important: this is general education, not medical, psychological or therapy advice. It cannot diagnose, and it does not replace your child's doctor, teacher or a qualified specialist. If a child is unsafe or talks of harming themselves or others, get help immediately using your local emergency number.
