Description
The Kindness Principle: Making Relational Behaviour Management Work in Schools In an education system often focused on discipline and control, a new approach is gaining traction: one built on kindness, compassion, and a deep understanding of children's behaviour. Dave Whitaker explores how schools can create a culture of acceptance and value, where relationships are at the heart of behaviour management. By adopting a relational approach, schools can foster safer and happier environments, where all staff and learners are valued and understood. Whitaker shares real-life experiences from challenging schools, along with research-informed insights, to help teachers better understand children's behaviour. This book offers practical guidance to develop effective practice and learn from those who have successfully implemented this approach. With a wealth of techniques and advice, Whitaker provides a comprehensive guide to working with all children, even the most challenging ones, without resorting to punitive measures.
