Description
How do classroom discipline, academic achievement, and emotional well-being affect one another? This early 1960s guide brings those questions together, examining children’s behavior as part of their broader experience of school.
Written for teachers and parents, the book considers how adults can respond to behavior problems while supporting learning and psychological health. Its approach connects classroom management with the child’s development rather than treating discipline as an isolated concern.
Published in the Prentice-Hall Psychology Series, it offers a period view of educational psychology and the growing attention paid to children’s emotional lives in schools. This copy is the May 1963 fifth printing, retaining its turquoise typographic dust jacket.
