Nurturing Children through the Primary Years

Developing the Potential of Every Child

This book argues that supporting a child’s learning in primary school is more about nurturing their dispositions than continually assessing their performance. It shows how teachers and parents have a deep impact on children’s learning, motivation and potential and the practices that offer children the best opportunities for future success.
