Positive Thinking: Exercises and Activities for Mental and Emotional Development

An exciting resource designed to prepare young people to take up challenges in a positive manner, this publication is a must-have resource for your educational setting. Positive Thinking will: * Help young people to find ways of turning disappointments into opportunities * Offer a conceptual and metaphorical framework for framing a vision of personal growth and development * Facilitate the realisation that it is possible to gain from many difficult situations * Empower students to face all the challenges that life offers in a positive manner. This resource is suitable for use with a variety of groups and settings from standard-sized classes of 30 to small set-ups: for example, non-mainstream pupil referral units. Young people within the age range of 10-14 will probably find the activities of most benefit. The content is extensive and fits into a number of curriculum areas, topics, issues and concerns, such as biography, ability and disability, diary writing, black history month and anti-bullying week. Activity pages, as well as being part of a theme, can also be used as standalone activities.
