Review
This publication offers over 150 differentiated activities to support development of PSE skills. They are presented in 3 sections: personal development (covering the stepping stones for dispositions and attitudes and self-care); social development (covering the aspects of making relationships and sense of community); emotional development (covering behaviour and self-control and self-confidence and self-esteem). The first book I've come across which subdivided activities in this way, and it makes planning for each aspect a very straightforward process. The Foundation Stage Forum.
