Why Do They Do That? is a very useful resource for parents, teachers, and caregivers of young children. It reviews potential concerns across several important domains, including social, sensory, and communication, in one very easy-to-use and well-organized book. The concern-based format focusing on specific behaviors allows readers to quickly find clear, practical, and understandable explanations and potential strategies. More important, the book provides appropriate next steps when a behavior moves beyond typical child behavior to something that is potentially more problematic by identifying the type of professional who can provide appropriate evaluation and/or treatment. Why Do They Do That? will be an important resource in any child-based setting home, school, or childcare. -- John T. Brentar, PhD "The Morrissey-Compton Educational Center" Why Do They Do That? is the quintessential question that parents and educators find themselves asking again and again about children. It is difficult to balance professionalism, accuracy, and research with compelling, upbeat, humorous writing, but Glenda and Paul have hit the jackpot with this easy-to-navigate format. I can see anyone with a child in his/her life loving this resource from educators at all levels to parents and grandparents. I will use it in my college classes teaching child development majors and also give it as gifts to other educators and parents." -- Deya Brashears Hill, EdD "Diablo Valley College" As a go-to resource, Why Do They Do That? provides valuable tools and insights for all those on the front lines of supporting children's healthy development. Teachers and parents will find practical illustrations to promote research-based understanding of common and not-so-common behaviors. At a time in history when early, knowledgeable intervention has proven its worth, this text provides perspective about the typical needs of children and the potential red flags that we all need to be aware of and act upon. Both new and experienced teachers and parents will find useful guidance, and students in the field of early childhood education will be better prepared to meet children's needs. -- Suzette Handy, MAT "Early Childhood Education; ECE Professional Development coordinator" What an honest, practical, and refreshing look at the behaviors that often puzzle or frustrate people who have young children in their lives! I have been looking for a book to use with parents and early childhood educators that describes real-life child behaviors and presents possibilities to consider in understanding and supporting children's development. Why Do They Do That? is that book! Rather than inducing guilt for 'not doing it right' or being overly prescriptive with pat answers, this book provides a tool for understanding development, considering practical strategies, and knowing when and how to pursue professional resources. The Basic Training, Over and Above sections, and appendices make this a resource that parents and teachers will want to keep on hand. -- Joan Symonds "Diablo Valley College Child Study Center" With humor, sensitivity, and vast amounts of experience, Glenda Fuge and Paul Pitner help us to distinguish behaviors that should be regarded as normal developmental milestones from those that should encourage us to seek out clinical opinions. As a parent of a grown child on the autism spectrum and as a professional, I am grateful for this wonderful tool that provides appropriate strategies for assessing and differentiating behaviors. I look forward to sharing this fun, accessible book with parents and teachers in my community. -- Virginia Frisch, MSW "Learner Inclusion Support, San Carlos Charter Learning Center"
