Push Past It!: A Positive Approach to Challenging Classroom Behaviors

Resource books often provide tips and tricks for managing challenging behaviors, but what happens when those tactics don't work? Most teachers give up. Push Past It! brings a raw, real, and at times funny approach to handling challenging behaviors and understanding why most behavior-management strategies don't work. Author Angela Searcy shares real-world examples, proven solutions, and new approaches to overcoming classroom disruptions using her PUSH PAST IT approach. Beyond behavioral-management strategies, Push Past It! will teach you how to:

  • See children's behavior as communication
  • Understand what is (and is not) developmentally appropriate behavior
  • Identify when to seek support
  • Communicate and listen more effectively
  • Help children overcome their own challenging behaviors
  • Take care of yourself too!

Evelyn B. ★★★★★

Finally, a resource that goes beyond surface-level tricks and digs into the *why* behind challenging behaviors. The practical framework in this book has completely shifted how I plan my morning meetings, making them proactive instead of reactive.

Robert ★★★★★

The chapter on moving past standard "tips and tricks" finally gave me language for why my usual rewards and consequences stalled with one stubborn kid. It’s a quick read, but the real-world classroom examples made me rethink my whole approach before winter break even ended.

Edward ★★★★★

I’ve been using this book to rethink my approach with a few tough students, and the way it digs into what to try when typical “tips and tricks” don’t work feels so practical. The advice is straightforward without being preachy, which I really appreciate.
