Customer Reviews

Useful, readable how to without being boring!

This book is deceptive-it's an easy read that you'll find extremely helpful and empowering. Ms. Thomsen has taken all the research for various 'new' teaching techniques and made them relevant to today's overworked and overwhelmed teachers,helping them to help their students become better people. As she indicates, stable and emotionally healthy students can become involved and capable students,who can then learn. The concept is not new, but the easy to read format shows how to make it applicable in every classroom.Teachers will find themselves saying "oh, I do that" and "oh, that would be easy to incorporate in my classroom" over and over as they read this book. Buy it for that favorite teacher- -and for the parent who may be struggling with their own child's inability to connect effectively with adults and teachers and others. Read her dandelion story, and see how many people you know who fall in to it.Lovely book-a great find!
