wonderful resource for anyone who works with children, 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I have found Jumpstarters to be a wonderful resource in working with children. From the inspirational quotes to the creative, fun-filled activities, Jumpstarters is suitable for both classroom as well as small group use. It approaches such topics as empathy, self-esteem, goal-setting, assertiveness, communication skills, peer interaction skills, and problem-solving skills in a manner guaranteed to engage school-age children. I especially appreciated the helpful list of teacher and student resources.
