Contemporary issues in PSHE and drug education. This practical resource looks at the relationship between mental illness and substance use disorders in young people.

The concept of risk taking in young people is explored, as well as how stress, low self-esteem and body image issues can lead to substance use, including performance enhancing drugs and high caffeine drinks. Examples of how to address these issues through PSHE are addressed in each chapter, as well as tips for supporting individual pupils from expert practitioners and researchers in the field.

An easy-to-read guide for parents, carers and professionals working with young people showing signs of self-harm and suicidal behaviours, which gives advice on how to identify problems and how to support the young person.

She presents key tips and strategies, such as the benefits of eating chocolate or of barefoot running, that will help children both at home and at school, and includes a section at the end for adults describing how we can test for working memory issues.

How to integrate structured motor activities into daily practice with children aged 3–9. This book provides a wide variety of activities to promote the development of fundamental skills, such as focus, posture and sensory processing, in children aged 3–9, especially those with special educational needs. Firmly based in research and practical experience, this book provides busy people with clearly-structured ways to incorporate motor skills activities into children’s early development. The activities and strategies presented are well-chosen to work with children’s natural developmental processes, and will help improve their vocabulary, auditory processing, and emotional regulation, to name a few examples. As a counterbalance to common emphasis on aerobic-style interventions, the book also demonstrates the value of slow and controlled movement in developing body awareness and sensory regulation. This is for all early years practitioners, education professionals, PE staff and those working in special education, who want to enhance the motor skills of 3-9-year-olds.
