Clinician's Toolkit for Children's Behavioral Health provides a wealth of clinical tools, best practices, and research-based recommendations for mental health and health care professionals working on the behavioural health of children. Based on the current perspectives on behaviourism, social-cognitive theory, and attachment theory, the book reviews the evidence-base on developmentally appropriate methods to promote and reinforce positive, prosocial behaviors in children. Each chapter covers the most recent evidence base on normal and atypical development treatment parameters, best practices, and how to most effectively address issues with families, providing guidance on how to advise parents to not resort to verbal or physical aggression, punishment spirals, and other ineffective or potentially harmful methods. Evidence-based best practices are outlined for addressing bedtime problems, toilet training, bullying behaviour and victimization, the relationship between somatic complaints, anxiety, and school refusal, problematic use of screen media, and more.
