Lessons From Laroux: How Needs Shape Behavior In Developing Brains - 9781953945815

How can sound principles from another discipline inform our educational work with younger children? Drawing inspiration from training experiences with his dog LaRoux, St. Romain winsomely connects the approaches behind smart puppy training to strategies we can apply in our classroom settings, especially when working with younger children. As he addresses fifteen key areas, St. Romain links an educational touch point - such as a student's need for belonging - with a relevant story about LaRoux, and then a take-away strategy (in this case, the importance of building social skills and emphasizing unstructured play in ways that foster belonging). Especially in these crucial post-pandemic years, children who are still catching up developmentally need a strong network of support to help them acquire the behavior skills needed for healthy learning and growth - and this resource shows the way.
