Childhood should be the happiest time of a person's life and school is a huge part of that. From getting the grades to learning about themselves and others, experiences at school can affect a child’s future in many ways. So how do we help them get it right?

Confidence

So clear, informative and compassionate. Worth listening to a second time. She seems to have a great understanding of what makes children tick - and parents too. Confidence is a fragile thing, especially in children, and Annie Holmes sounds like someone who knows how to nurture it.
