Keep Your Coooooool!: Stress Reducing Strategies for Key Stage 2 and 3
About this ebook
`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
All people, including young people, face tensions and stress but its how we learn to manage stress thats important.
The sections of this book cover:
" what is stress
