Richard has published his second book - Give quality kids quality school days. 

Of the 365 days in a year, a child spends about two hundred of them at school. The life-long impact of a school on a young mind is enormous. Everyone who cares, wants the child to have a schooling that's a happy one. Whatever school a child attends, not every day will be a Roald Dahl Charlie and the chocolate factory-type experience. There'll be the not-so-sweet days. Sour days could include being bullied, being disciplined or being lonely.

Yet countless children are happy and thrive at school. 

 

What can we do to make school days Awesome, Exhilarating, Inspiring and Out - of - this - world?

​

Distinguished Professor of Education Jonathan D Jansen, wrote "Every home should have one and every teacher should read this compelling argument for makingschool a happy and productive place for all our children."

I agree - every teacher and every parent can benefit from this really delightful, wise and entertaining book.
