A powerful and practical book to cleanse and optimise the thoughts and mindset of every teacher! * Andrew Jennings, author and founder of Vocabulary Ninja, @VocabularyNinja *
The book is inspirational, practical and offers a healthy variety of positive wellbeing modalities that will support the mental health needs of its readers (both student and teacher alike). It has an appealing simplicity that will enable and encourage readers to keep returning to it, time and time again. -- Marie Parkinson, yoga and meditation teacher, Live Well North East CIC
As a classroom teacher, mindfulness practitioner and trainee mindfulness teacher I think this book is a fantastic resource! It helps children to become more mindful; aware of their thinking and actions and teaches them that they have an element of choice in how they respond to their own thoughts, others and the world around them. Full of top tips to help children feel happy and less stressed, be grateful and kind, develop resilience and feel connected to each other and the world. Children learn that there are some things we can control and others that we can’t. They learn tips for living in the present rather than worrying about the past or the future. Crucial learning that I think could help not only the children, but their teachers and parents too! -- Debbie Hamilton - Primary school teacher, North East England
