Schoolyard Secrets: Top 10 Subtle Signs of Potential Behavioural Issues (Raising Resilient Kids: A Grown-Up’s Guide to Big Feelings and Bright Futures) - Tapa blanda

Schoolyard Secrets (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Every child has a story to tell - but not every story is spoken aloud. Schoolyard Secrets invites readers to look beyond the surface of playground chatter and classroom commotion to discover the quiet messages children send through their behaviour. In this compassionate and deeply insightful guide, Marcus Raithe helps parents, teachers, and caregivers recognise the subtle signs that a child may be struggling emotionally or behaviourally - long before those struggles become crises.From the child who can't seem to make friends, to the one who's always on the move, or the student whose laughter hides anxiety, each chapter explores one of ten tell-tale patterns that often go unnoticed. Drawing from modern psychology, classroom experience, and an understanding of child development, Raithe reframes behaviour not as defiance or disorder, but as communication. Every tantrum, silence, or outburst, he argues, is a clue to what a child is feeling but cannot yet express.In "When Making Friends Feels Like a Mystery," readers explore how social confusion and isolation can mask deeper anxieties. "Emotions That Explode Like a Volcano" reveals how frustration often hides fear or sensory overload. "Rules? What Rules?" examines the defiant child who may actually crave structure and understanding. Each chapter blends observation, empathy, and practical strategies for supporting children with patience and perspective.Through vivid examples and real-world insight, Raithe teaches adults how to shift their focus from punishment to curiosity, from control to connection. He reminds us that children rarely "act out" without cause - their behaviour is their language, a coded message asking for help, safety, or belonging. By learning to read these signals, adults can prevent small emotional cracks from becoming lifelong fractures.This book is not about labelling or diagnosing. It's about noticing. It's about paying attention to the small signs - the sudden change in tone, the unexplained tummy aches, the laughter that feels forced, or the eyes that avoid contact. These moments, subtle as they seem, are the keys to understanding what a child's inner world is trying to say.Schoolyard Secrets is both a handbook and a mirror - one that helps adults see children more clearly and compassionately. It offers tools for building emotional literacy, fostering resilience, and nurturing the bond between adult and child. Whether you're a teacher watching patterns unfold in a busy classroom or a parent trying to make sense of your child's shifting moods, this book provides the guidance you need to respond with insight rather than frustration.
