NEW! “I Know What’s Next!” Preschool Transitions Without Tears or
Turmoil, by Betsy Evans
 Transitions
can create stress for both adults and children. Reduce the number of
transition conflicts in your program by viewing these “between times” as
opportunities for fun and learning. This book provides guidelines,
strategies, and a wide variety of songs, games, and educational
experiences to be used during drop-off and pick-up times, during daily
routine transitions, meals, naps, cleanup, and even during the
transition from preschool to kindergarten. Also offered are parent
handouts, real-life transition scenarios, photos, and illustrations that
depict contrasting approaches to transitions.

Conflict
Resolution With Young Children
 Children's
conflicts over toys, space, and friendship create many challenges for
teachers and parents. This book presents a useful and effective
six-step mediation process adults can use to support young children at
these tense and emotional times. It includes more than 50 actual
stories of conflict experiences from preschools, nursery schools, Head
Start centers, elementary schools, and homes. Through these
stories and the accompanying photos of conflict resolution in action,
readers can "see and hear" real children resolving disputes
successfully, guided by adults using the six-step process. Using
this book as a guide, teachers and parents will have the strategies in
hand to make the most of these valuable learning opportunities, whether
the children they are caring for are toddlers, preschoolers, or
school-aged children.

The six Problem-solving steps discussed in You Can't Come to My Birthday Party! come to life in the two stories in each of the books. Two books, Sharing and Taking Turns, illustrate the steps with the most detail.
Many of the other books in the series also support problem-solving, as evident by the titles. The books are available in English and Spanish.

Responding to Problems and Conflicts
Children
grabbing toys, crying, fighting—problems are bound to happen when very
young children share materials and play space.
This 40-minute video shows
both younger and older babies and toddlers in several High/Scope
infant-toddler settings and the adults who care for them. Filled
with strategies caregivers can use to respond sensitively and positively
to children's social conflicts, the video also covers ways to keep
conflict to a minimum by creating a warm and play-filled environment.
Included are strategies for
problem prevention, positive limit-setting, and resolving conflicts—strategies that help children begin to develop important social,
language, and reasoning abilities. With this support at a very
early age, children are on their way to becoming cooperative and caring
individuals!
Supporting Children in
Resolving Conflicts
Conflicts
and disputes—over materials, space, and playmates—are a normal part
of the day in every preschool center. Though challenging for
adults, such conflicts offer children important opportunities for
learning. This video program describes six problem-solving steps
that adults can use to help children resolve conflicts successfully. Through this problem-solving process, children learn social, language,
and cognitive skills that they will use throughout their lives. The video shows children in a New York City Head Start Center and in the
High/Scope Demonstration Preschool Classroom in Ypsilanti, Michigan, as
they resolve actual conflicts with the help of their teachers.
