Books by James E. Levine

Step by step, Levine, a clinical social worker experienced as a consultant to dozens of schools, helps us take the astute advice cited in one children's song we've all heard: 'stop, look, and listen,' to first understand the behavior of challenging children. He prompts the reader to question the causes of problematic behavior.

Levine shows us how to observe, question, and think about children's problem behaviors in school from the child's perspective so we can understand what is motivating children to act as they do before we intervene.
