Kate Longworth, CEO Gaia Learning, UK
"This is an important, ambitious and readable book which will change hearts and minds. It is a rich account of the authors insights, experiences and reflections coupled with practical approaches to creating a culture that supports the inclusion and well-being of all children and young people. It challenges conventional wisdom about managing behaviour, replacing traditional punitive approaches with those that foster mutually respectful relationships and create caring yet firm and explicit boundaries. Central to this approach is compassion, respect and repair, rather than sanctions or punishment.The book is thought- provoking and raises questions that deserve serious thought and discussion."
