The reason why this is so successful, is that you first need to understand behaviour as a language of communication, then when applying behaviour support strategies you are meeting the emotional needs of the child and the underlying cause or reason for the behaviour.

In each episode you'll follow one person's journey, getting to listen in on their coaching sessions with Selina and following them as she sends them off on a task to try out a new career idea.

Gentles spent her first seven years at Hawkswood as its deputy head, the past three as its head, and she feels she couldn’t be leaving it in a better place.We get visitors who’ll look at our timetable and they’ll say that’s great, but we can’t do that at our school because the behaviour isn’t good enough.

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, read by Noako Mori. Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths.

The head of Hawkswood primary PRU in Waltham Forest, east London, was the only leader (dozens were asked) who allowed journalists in as part of The Sun’s investigation into children in PRUs, some supposedly as young as two, as a result of exclusion. My daughter is one of these students, and what I have said to her is get yourself into a routine from the beginning of the school year, eat well, sleep well and then do 20 to 30 minutes of revision as day. Marie Gentles draws on her decades of expertise supporting children across the behavioural spectrum, along with their parents and teachers, to show us how to establish positive relationships that bring out the best in our children.

The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish.

Bringing their own unique and counter-balanced personalities to proceedings they ask questions such as: what is happiness? You don't need to fit into a box with your parenting style, but using Marie's gentle guidance, you'll be equipped to raise a resilient child who in turn has the tools they need to deal with anything life throws at them - whether they are fifteen months or fifteen years, it's never too late to start. Children and young people need to feel emotionally safe before they can learn and before their system can wire for calm.
