Peculiar Tracks for Managing Resistance

This book by Drs. John Maag and Suzanne Kemp is based on Dr. Maag’s most popular workshop topic: Managing Resistance. For years people have asked Dr. Maag if he had a handout that they could follow while attending his workshops. Now it’s here! This book is perfect for workshop participants. They can follow along during the workshop or read it on their own. Every teacher should have this book the corner of his or her desk.

The book uses a train as a metaphor for resistance and how to manage it by using unconventional techniques. It is chock full of practical examples of how to deal with such child problems as swearing, lying, passive-aggression, making animal noises, and arguing. There are illustrations that accompany each chapter and techniques.
