Play is how children explore, discover, fail, succeed, socialize, and flourish. It is a fundamental element of the human condition. It's the key to giving schoolchildren skills they need to succeed.

Changing Our Minds brings together research, theory and practice on learning. It includes interviews with influential thinkers in the field of self-directed education and examples from families alongside practical advice.

In When the Parents Change, Everything Changes, Britain's leading behaviour expert introduces parents to a revolutionary method for changing your behaviour and so changing your children's - tried and tested in over 100,000 schools.
