Review
Ostensibly about self-esteem the book is actually a means of helping children reach a meditative state of stillness from where they can begin the process of learning. A key technique is visualisation, where children focus on a secret garden in order to promote stillness and switch on the imagination. Official magazine of the National Association of Head Teachers.
