A powerful exhortation to get teachers more involved in student success. Kirkus
This model ultimately saves time and effort, and is supported by a significant research base showing its effectiveness in reducing behavioral issues and improving student success. The book will appeal to parents, educators, and policymakers. Booklist
This critical book reminds us that, now more than ever, we must address the growing issue of students struggling with trauma and social/emotional challenges. Working together as parents and educators we can change things for the better and make a real impact on children's lives. Yvonne Johnson, National PTA President
The Kids Who Arent Okay arrives as an essential resource... sure to shape the thinking of educators, school leaders, and policy makers who seek solutions to the worsening cycle of behaviors, punitive responses, and exacerbated problems. Offering hope, direction, and practical guidance to support implementation, The Kids Who Aren't Okay provides both the rationale and the strategies for transforming learning environments. Pender Makin, Commissioner, Maine Department of Education
This book is a gift to educators who are feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Its practical, based on the realities teachers face today, but also visionary and hopeful. If all schools were to adopt this approach to understanding and supporting students who are struggling, their success rates would soar and children would thrive. This may be Ross Greenes best book yet. Joan Durrant, Ph.D., Professor Emerita of Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba
The Kids Who Arent Okay resonated with me deeply, and puts into words what so many of us see every day: punitive systems dont help kids whose struggles come from lagging skills and unmet needs. This honest, deeply compassionate work offers hope, and a practical path forward. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to build school communities where every child feels safe, understood, and truly supported. Robyn Linscott, Director of Education and Family Policy for The Arc of the United States
Dr. Greene says things many of us would like to say but don't (or can't) in our polarized society. The Kids Who Arent Okay is an invaluable resource for everyone working in our education system; an engaging and powerful presentation of a practical, effective and evidenced-based methodology. As a psychologist who has worked for decades with youth who are blamed and punished for their unlucky frustration responses, Ill refer to this book often and readily recommend it to others. Bobbi Beale, PsyD, Director, Center for Innovative Practices, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH
