Description
In 1997, The Upledger Foundation embarked on a pilot programme to study the use of compassionate touch among children - in particular, to evaluate the effects touch can have in increasing pro-social behaviours and reducing behavioural problems. This book, specially written for children aged 6-10, is intended to increase compassion and decrease violence and heckling among kindergarten and primary school children.
