About this title

Synopsis

This little book outlines positive steps for creating a warm, accepting culture that fosters individual growth, accepts the unique inherent talents within each person and enables children to achieve their potential. The essence of the book has been used as the foundation for courses and seminars for several years, but never before has it been available in book form. The book has 21 easy lessons that will help develop a positive culture in any setting where people are working with youth. It is empowering, simple and is built on the underpinnings of love and caring. It offers hope and possibility for those who want to build a better tomorrow for today’s children. The inspiration for this book comes from Sydney Banks’ principles of mind, thought and consciousness.
