Jumpstart! Wellbeing

Jumpstart! Wellbeing is a treasure trove of fun activities and ideas for building wellbeing and its constituent skills into the curriculum. It will offer teachers a range of quick, easy and practical techniques for developing children’s mental and emotional wellbeing while and linking wellbeing with the thinking skills necessary for learning. These include both creative and critical ways of thinking. The authors show how developing such skills within the context of a wellbeing agenda aids children’s motivation, their ability to concentrate and their willingness to explore, investigate and question, bringing huge benefits for children’s sense of achievement, self-confidence and resilience.
