Kate Ginn, Life Long Learner and Author of `The Secret Learning Code`
The subtitle of this book states `Activities and Strategies for Creating Confident Learners` - which is a great goal and certainly a wonderful philosophy to have in an age when children just want to be pop idols, pop stars or a celebrity and our world is overfilled to flowing over with emotional immaturity and we`re all reaping the rewards of that mind-set. So to have a primary book about developing emotional intelligence and using some basic psychotherapy tools for exploring the deep question `who am I?` and learning to evaluate yourself clearly through self-analysis and through the reflection of others is a wonderful move forward in the development of mankind. I would say that three generations from now with a foundation like this will mean we will be `forced` to look at issues more deeply and our role in creating them. I am sure those primary educators who wish to be a real force for change in the world will get great value out of this book because it really assists emotional maturation of the student (and quite likely the educator too).
