Feelings and motivation

de Melvin D. Levine, Denny Houghton

Looks at how students feel about their performance in school and shows children and early adolescents struggling with negative feelings in classroom and home situations. Explores school situations that may generate negative reactions--such as humiliation, low self-esteem, loss of motivation, helplessness, anxiety and withdrawal--and offers practical strategies that teachers and parents can use to help children deal with their negative feelings relatied to performance.
