A book wirtten for both school staff but will also hold interest for parents/caregivers. The nurture groups appear to be similar to our special need classes in schools and so a comparison is valid. Ideas could be applied to these classes also. A good read for those with reasonable reading/comprehension skills.

We are setting up a nurture room in our school and this book has been a wealth of information, so much so I have purchased my own copy.
