Children who have nonacademic obstacles in their homes or school lives require specialized attention to cope with their issues and function in the classroom. Developing Children's Coping Skills, Second Edition—a revision of one of the top 10 KIDSRIGHTS products, Child Support Through Small Group Counseling—provides teachers, counselors, therapists, and facilitators with strategies and information that will enable them to prepare children emotionally, socially, and academically to become better learners.
The structure of the lessons/sessions in this book works well with state and national standards of curriculum, making effective use of instructional time within schools as required by the current educational reform law No Child Left Behind.
