Managing Passive Aggressive Behavior Of Children And Youth At School And Home

The Longs, psychologists who have studied passive aggression in children since the 1960s, provide guidance for teachers and parents who find themselves feeling frustrated, confused, angry, and guilty after interactions with chronically passive-aggressive kids. Passive aggression is a learned behavior in which children express anger in irritating and indirect ways, such as "forgetting" assignments or pretending not to hear a teacher. The authors discuss how children develop passive-aggressive traits, describe the five levels of such behavior, and outline how adults can manage the passive-aggressive conflict cycle to change students' behavior. The brief volume has no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
