Description

From a leading expert in education and parenting comes a comprehensive guide to helping parents and teachers support students with behavioral challenges. This newly revised and updated edition offers a fresh approach to school discipline, addressing a system that too often fails the very kids who need help the most. These students are frequently misunderstood, labeled as defiant or uncontrollable, and subjected to ineffective, punitive measures that do little to address the root of their struggles. Parents, teachers, and administrators alike find themselves frustrated and searching for solutions.

Dr. Ross W. Greene, the bestselling author of *The Explosive Child*, presents an alternative way to understand and work with students displaying challenging behavior. His Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model shifts the focus to identifying the true causes of these behaviors, equipping educators with the tools to address them effectively. By fostering supportive relationships, this approach helps at-risk students succeed while creating a more positive classroom environment.

This updated edition of *Lost at School* features the latest improvements to the CPS model, including advanced strategies for collaborative problem-solving, enhanced communication techniques, and stronger relationship-building methods.

Dr. Greene’s engaging and insightful writing provides:

– Practical tools for identifying the underlying problems and skill deficits that contribute to challenging behavior
– Clear guidance on improving interactions with struggling students and reducing disruptive incidents, with real-world examples illustrating these techniques
– Actionable steps for fostering collaboration among educators, parents, and students to create lasting positive change

Grounded in years of research and experience, *Lost at School* offers a hopeful and realistic approach to transforming the way teachers and parents support students with behavioral challenges. With its practical strategies and expert advice, this book empowers adults to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children and their classmates.
