BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN EVERY CHILD
It can sometimes be the belief that ability and intelligence are set, believing we are born intelligent and we either are or are not. This is not true; intelligence and ability are obtainable by all and generally the only thing stopping us is self-belief. Understanding how to help children believe in themselves as well as the people around them, will bring out the best in them. This should be the starting point in any child's school life.
