Learning about the relationship between thoughts and behaviour is stimulating and enjoyable. These seven stories teach children to:
" reflect on behaviour and consequences
" learn to control impulsivity stop and think
" manage feelings and practise positive self-talk.
The publication contains all the necessary teaching materials, lesson notes and copiable resources needed to work on self-control techniques and problem-solving strategies in the primary classroom.
This resource provides teachers with a new and different approach to the teaching of responsible behaviour and decision-making. No prior knowledge of cognitive behaviour theory is necessary.
