Brief Counseling Techniques that Work

In 15-Minute Focus: Behavior Interventions, Amie Dean gives educators, counselors, and parents knowledge, strategies, and resources to teach children and teens how to communicate and make decisions to get their needs met in positive ways through behavior instruction and coaching.

If a child or teen is struggling to manage emotions or make good choices, it is rarely because they want to be “bad” or disrespectful. Most adults look for the “right” way or a magic formula that will transform challenging students, with no luck on finding one. Impacting behavioral change in another person is hard work, and every individual has unique needs and circumstances that should be considered. This book will help you view children’s words and actions as a lack of coping skills in the moment, or a skill deficit that can be taught and improved.

You’ll discover:

The function of behaviorWays to rethink responses to behaviorDe-escalation techniquesSteps to create a trauma-sensitive classroomPrinciples for a positive classroomActionable strategies, curated resources, and more!

This guide will ask you to consider that there is likely a barrier keeping children from being successful, and it is our opportunity as the adults who care for them to help them through it.

    Pure Gold
    This is the best behavior book I’ve read in 23 years of teaching. I appreciate the short format, easy-to-use tools, rationale that isn’t too drawn out, and great resources at the back of the book.

    Different way of thinking
    I liked the fact that this book gives personal experiences that made it easy to relate. I am a beginning teacher so just knowing other teachers experience some of the things I did makes me feel better

    My new go-to Behavior Intervention book!
    It’s that time of year, Back to School! 📚Time to focus on what is important, and for me that is Behavior. I have been reading this fantastic book called Behavior Interventions Workbook & Manual by Amie Dean which is part of the 15-minute focus series that I already love. This one is definitely my favorite as it is beyond comprehensive and full of practical and useful intervention ideas and insights. Here are the highlights for me about what is covered:-Function of Behavior-Ways to rethink responses to behavior.-De-escalation Techniques-Steps to create a trauma-sensitive classroom.-Principles for a positive classroom.-Strategies and Resources that you can use!👍As a Counselor, I have read a lot of Behavior books, and I mean a lot! This one really stands out to me as superior. As the author beautifully states “there is likely a barrier keeping children from being successful, and it is our opportunity as the adults who care for them to help them through it.” Can I get that in a poster for my next RTI meeting please? I mean perfection 😉

    Get ready to change behavior!
    🍀I have been fortunate enough to hear @amiedeanbehaviorqueen multiple times, so I was thrilled when her new book “15-Minute Focus: Behavior Interventions Strategies For Educators, Counselors, and Parents” arrived.📘This book is definitely one you want on your bookshelf.👍Amie’s strategies and mindset have always stuck with me- she’s a powerful speaker. Turns out, she’s a powerful writer as well.👉If you never had a class in behavior management before, this book is for you. If you are looking for a book to share with your teachers, this book is for you. If you are looking for de-escalation or actionable strategies, this book is for you.❤️My favorite section is all about the language of disagreement, which feels as powerful for adults as it does kids this year.✋For years now I have used her tip for verbal warnings. “If you choose_____then you choose_____.” It’s one of the most powerful tools in my behavior toolbox. This language has never let me down. Truly, my kids hear it, own it, and respect it. They are free to choose, but not free of the consequences.
