Hi there, Sorry! Only just noticed this . Can't think of anything off the top of my head for child psychology, but the Pre-school Learning Alliance do a really good booklet called 'Behaviour in Pre-school Groups' ISBN 1 873743 75 0. You can get it directly from them, either by phoning your local branch (should be in the phone book) or from the website, which I can't lay my hands on at the moment, but a search will throw it up, no probs!! Or you could look at Nicola Call's articles here on the site.
Hope that's helpful,

Sue :D

Hi Caz, try this, it's got questionaires for parents and practitioners , and then shows how each response can affect childrens behaviour. I remember at the time of reading it hearing a woman on the bus slap her son with the words 'dont hit'!!! The book reflects that kind of thing.
