BY WISDOM NOT BY FORCE - $34.00 (Plus HST)
A book of quotes by PLAY IS THE WAY Founder Wilson McCaskill, to help guide children, teachers and parents.
BY WISDOM NOT BY FORCE, is a stimulating journey into the ideas, issues and insights that are of consequence to the teachers, parents and children of today.
Wilson McCaskill’s philosophy and experience is captured in 163 of his own succinct, relevant and effective maxims.
Maxims can be of great help to children. They say what needs to be said and nothing more. Used in classrooms and displayed on school walls they serve to guide behaviour and stimulate positive attitudes.
Once learnt in childhood they become mental notes for life. Maxims can be shared, exchanged, added to and created. They penetrate the dark of unease and indecisiveness and can be a welcome signpost when confusion abounds and clarity is in marked absence.

BULLY STRATEGY BOOKLET - $20.00 (Plus HST)
A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO BUILDING EMPATHY AND REDUCING BULLYING
“Someone who bullies has someone scared inside.”
The power of this poster for children lies in its disempowerment of those who bully.
It is our firm belief that the most effective means to address the problem of bullying in school communities is to work determinedly to nurture empathy.
If we accept that empathy is the ability to see things from another’s point of view and the ability to identify with the plight or state of another, then we can accept that an empathetic person has little likelihood of bullying.
The booklet will guide educators to develop the empathy of their students and shift the focus from punishment to contain and control those who bully, to educational processes that create the understanding to underpin self-motivated change.
Constructed to create an absorbing conversation about intentions, actions, reactions and reasons, this poster helps educators probe the complex issue of bullying with insight and honesty.
