    "This book has been written keeping in mind the needs of teachers, especially new teachers, with relation to classroom behaviour management. The book suggests effective strategies to combat undue aggression and violence, and provides pointers to understand student's needs and pacify them. Also teaching tips to hold children's attention have been given.

    The book also emphasizes on the need for discipline, and gives a step-by-step process of enforcing it. Teachers obviously don't want to give control of the whole class to their students, and hence, the techniques which backfire have also been enumerated. Providing an effective framework for promoting positive classroom behaviour, it is hoped that this book proves to be highly useful for teachers." (jacket)
