As we all emerge from living through a pandemic, it is imperative
that children grow up equipped with a range of skills and tools
that will enable them to navigate their way through a “new normal”
and feel nurtured, supported, guided and empowered. Andrew Cowley’s
comprehensive and holistic toolkit offers a rich and powerful
wellbeing curriculum, which should sit at the heart of the ethos of
every school as they support children and young people.
