Constructive Guidance and Discipline: Birth to Age Eight – 7th Edition (Ebook PDF)

Authors: by Fields Marjorie V. (Author), Meritt Patricia A. (Author), Fields Deborah M. (Author)

Positive approaches focused on treating the causes of behavior problems to help young children become happy, responsible, productive people.

This book presents guidance and discipline concepts within a framework of child development, developmentally appropriate practices, and constructivist education to give early childhood educators the best approaches available for nurturing children for success. Focusing on what is best for young children, rather than merely presenting an impartial overview of various approaches, the authors stress helping adults to effectively assist children’s moral development using the coercive approaches of punishment or behavior modification. The emphasis is on guidance for children ages three through eight. The new edition continues the features that made previous editions so popular. Included are new Invitations to Reflection, tables and figures, careful documentation and careful explanations of the principles, and a stronger balance of preschool and primary-grade level examples, while also including examples with infants and toddlers, addresses the needs expressed by higher education programs that address guidance for young children from birth to age eight.

PREFACE
Constructive Guidance and Discipline: Birth to Age Eight provides early childhood professionals (and parents) with the best of approaches to help young children become happy, responsible, and productive people. We present guidance and discipline concepts within a framework of child development, developmentally appropriate practices, and constructivist education.
Thus, only discipline approaches that are consistent with all three aspects of this framework are recommended here. We take a stand about what is best for young children, rather than merely presenting an impartial overview of various approaches. We are convinced that adults cannot effectively assist children’s moral development through the coercive approaches of punishment or behavior modification.
Although recent editions of the text address the entire scope of early childhood, ages 0–8, we emphasize guidance for children ages 3–8. Appropriate guidance and discipline must be tied to developmental levels, and we want to acknowledge that infant and toddler development is uniquely different from that of children in the preoperational years of 3–8. Many of the principles for older children apply to younger children, but some approaches presented in this text require more emotional, social, and cognitive maturation than that attained by toddlers.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
New Pearson eText Digital Features Enhance Learning and Assessment
• The improved Pearson eText platform provides links to videos relevant to key concepts and topics, allowing students to view examples or extend knowledge of chapter content. Videos were selected and integrated in the eText by the authors.
Although video links were included in the last edition, in this edition they are more visible and include a contextualized introduction for the student.
• A “Video Analysis” exercise in most chapters also presents students with a video to watch, combined with questions to respond to in order to demonstrate understanding of video content.
• Section quizzes, called “Check Your Understanding,” pop up in the Pearson eText, allowing students to check student understanding of concepts presented in each section.
By receiving immediate feedback, students’ understanding is scaffolded. Each major chapter section and section quizzes are aligned with a chapter Learning Outcome. Improvements to the Book’s Pedagogy
• To help students better understand the text content, we have provided an organizational graphic image of 3 blocks. These blocks are used to illustrate how each of the three parts of the book and each of the chapters relate to one another.
Chapters open with a brief scenario illustrating the type of challenges addressed in that chapter and the scenario is referred to throughout the chapter.
• Learning Outcomes are aligned with section headings and with a bulleted summaryat the end of each chapter.
• End-of-chapter questions and activities are categorized into subsets for ease in making assignments.
