Other Useful Publications
Nurturing Emotional Literacy – Peter Sharp
A practical guide for teachers, parents and those in a caring profession. This book helps to recognise, understand, handle and appropriately express their emotions. How we manage our emotions and positive impact that emotional literacy can have on improving standards in schools has been overshadowed recently by the attention given to the 3 R’s. This handbook seeks to redress this and looks at the importance of the fourth R – relationship. Specific ideas for working with children, teachers, parents and carers, makes this book ideal for all concerned with developing the whole child.
