Promoting positive<br />
behaviour<br />
Children need to learn how to engage with the big wide world. Our approach<br />
is to praise positive behaviour and to show children how they are valued as<br />
individuals. This enhances self-esteem and confidence, making it easier for<br />
your child to make friends and to treat others with kindness and respect.<br />
