Murray White was the first British author to write a major work on Circle Time. His publication Magic Circles was a classic, helping to raise the profile and popularity of Circle Time during the 90s. This new and revised edition provides a practical, up to date resource that will help raise self-esteem and assist young people's learning and behaviour.
The book has a new format and 50% new material. The resources will provide a range of exciting ideas to use in Circle Time to develop:
- security
- identity
- belonging
- purpose
- competence
- well-being.
As well as being a practical resource, Murray provides a theoretical underpinning to explain the value of Circle Time and reinforce self-esteem as an important aspect of mental health and well-being.
