Lost at School by Ross Greene was revised in 2014. It offers so many practical ideas that help educators and parents address children with a variety of behavioral challenges. The real-life scenarios help the reader realize that often the adults totally miss the antecedents of negative behavior. I know our school like many do a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) but I totally agree with the author that many times there is a bias lens when these are done that suggest the child is manipulating the environment. The author has practical tools "Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems." I like how the author explains how to consult with teachers and the student to find solutions to problems. I recommend it to any counselor who has challenging students who are not responding to what has already been tried at school. By the way, the author does not let school personnel get away with blaming parents!
