‘Why can’t they see the Real Me?’ is a book to help parents and teachers, teach children that their negative behavior is a choice rather than who they are. By doing this we are empowering children to view and ultimately change their negative behaviors. Included in this book is an illustrated poem to read and discuss with your children. At the end is a parent and teacher corner explaining how to utilize the book. Behavior management tools connected to this book that can be used in the home and classroom are found at www.empowerdls.com and www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Dannis-Designs .
