Constant and intense aggression, arguing, tantrums, noncompliance, and poor academic progress: these are characteristic of the Tough Kid. Whilst these Tough Kids are the minority, studies have shown that the most difficult 10% of students can cause 70% of school problems.
You can't "cure" Tough Kids, but you can use proactive, positive techniques to manage and motivate them. Effective management will help your Tough Kids succeed in school and make life in your classroom easier for you and for the other students.
The Tough Kid Series provides practical, evidence-based strategies for dealing effectively with problems like aggression, noncompliance, lack of motivation, and poor academic performance as well as the poor social skills which these kids often exhibit. The series includes updated versions of the original Tough Kid resources, proven over many years in schools around the world, plus new resources for Tough Kid issues like bullying, poor concentration, teacher/parent collaboration, etc. The Tough Kid Series addresses issues that arise for new and veteran teachers, parents, and the kids themselves.
