An excerpt from On Their Side: "There are many ways to begin experimenting with these methods. I began in science and then moved on to math. I cut down on using time out. I experimented with the way I talked with individual children about their behavior. I began working with the whole class to figure out possible solutions to problems that came up. Although initially it was hard to change my way of thinking, once I made the switch, it was so satisfying that it soon became a habit."
