Hi all - Just to remind you that if you buy books or other goods via Amazon please consider visiting Amazon via our book recommendations page (the bookshelf). In October we began using the Amazon Associates scheme, which gives us revenues for each item bought by clicking through to their site. We donate these revenues to charity and keep a running total on the page so you can see how much is being collected. I've just put the first total up on the page - not a massive amount, but every little helps, and of course December is often a busy shopping month for some reason!

I have just published our review of this. There are many books which give an overview and seek to explain the background to different educational theorists. I found this book particlaurly accessible and it gave me a real flavour of what Susan Isaacs believed and how she shared her views with others. It's a straightforward read that you can dip in and out of! Wise Words. How Susan Isaacs Changed Parenting We also have this article which gives you more information about Susan Isaacs if you want to know a little more
