“Excellent, clear, well thought out activities. Considerably reduces unnecessary time spent on planning.”

“A wonderful resource that has been used in our children's centre in their weekend clubs. The manual has been used primarily with 10 to 13 year olds and it has tackled issues such as bullying, decision-making, confidence building, healthy living, power of money and co-operation. All the issues that have been tackled are crucial in re-building the self-confidence and the physiological approach to education for the pre-secondary and secondary school children.”
