Julie Duckworth, Headteacher, Ledbury Primary School
In recent years primary school teachers have welcomed the introduction of programmes which develop children`s understanding of themselves. It has become apparent that childrens` emotional intelligence must be nurtured in order for children to learn at their best. Through programmes such as SEAL and Values based Education children are developing a philosophy to understand themselves and their relationships. Peter Clutterback has provided a wide range of material in his book `Positive Reinforcement`, for educators to use which will help children not only understand themselves but also teach them how to forge positive relationships with people who they interact with in their everyday lives. The activities are stimulating and can be adapted in an open-ended way to suit the needs of the new primary curriculum. This book is an essential tool for any adult who is working within a 21st century primary school classroom.
