`As one would expect from a publisher with a proven track record in books on behaviour management… well illustrated, easy to use and potentially very effective' -Highland

`Would be a useful resource to encourage the inclusion of emotional literacy to a wider audience without "giving away the psychology". It could easily be used by teachers as a package, or be used in conjunction with an EP where schools need more encouragement to feel less confident. I would recommend this as a useful practical resource for schools' -Educational Psychology in Practice
