This revised and updated 2nd edition presents a positive program for changing individual behavior that empowers students of all ages to deal with their own problems, gaining self-esteem in the process. This book offers guidelines for dealing with specific problems ranging from incomplete homework to child abuse and depression; techniques that are equally useful in one-on-one counseling and small group settings; and ways to help non-counseling staff use the solution-focused approach. Topics include: Helping students set their own goals and change their own behavior; working with students who are frustrated, sad, or unmotivated; strategies for parent conferences and student-teacher problem resolution; plus sample dialogues showing what to say and questions to ask. Includes more than 80 reproducible worksheets and student handouts.
