Role-play activities used effectively can help children review and discuss their feelings and can inspire them to consider the feelings of others.

Critics of the fashionable policy of driving mothers back into the workforce at any cost have argued for years that there is a direct causal relationship between the Government's early education policies and the behavioural and social malaise that is rapidly becoming the norm in today's schooling system.
