Synopsis

This book will support you in your endeavours to: * change behaviour patterns and choose to behave more in line with your own values; * change some of the roles you play and choose the 'you' that you really want to be; * make the kind of difference you always wanted with your friends, family and pupils; * model the above and support children to develop this intelligence for themselves. This is a book to be experienced. It takes the theory behind Emotional Intelligence and 'walks you through it' in a comfortable, supportive, yet challenging way. When you engage with the philosophy of the book and the activities in it, you will discover more about yourself and realise you have much greater choice about your effect on those around you, adults as well as children, than you ever believed. Reading this book leads you to the realisation that you can fundamentally change a child's life by being the 'real' you. It provides: * Activities to support the development of children's Emotional Intelligence; It examines:; * How we all change, from being children who felt capable of anything to adults with many limitations; * How we can remove the limitations, by changing our beliefs; * How we can change the patterns that are having a negative effect on our lives and on the lives of others; * How to be an adult who has no 'buttons to press'; * How our external environment is affected by our internal environment.
