A book that students don’t roll their eyes at. Completely updated Dec 2025 Most wellbeing resources fail because they talk at students instead of speaking with them. The Book About YOU was rewritten for the students who: switch off in lessons avoid tasks without knowing why get labelled “unmotivated” struggle to explain what’s going on in their head It doesn’t lecture. It doesn’t preach. It doesn’t tell them who to be. Instead, it helps students understand: why they act the way they do what their brain is actually chasing how small changes create better outcomes Written by a former “hard to reach” student turned coach, this resource is designed to be: discussion-led ADHD-friendly low-pressure practical honest Teachers use it to start conversations. Students use it to make sense of themselves. No gimmicks. No worksheets full of fluff. Just language students recognise — and ideas that stick.

These separation cards are perfect for touching base with your ELSA children. Once an intervention is finished it is important to keep contact with your children.

Of course these were created for the ELSA/Child relationship. These would also work well for Teacher/Child, TA/Child, Learning Mentor/Child or anyone who works either on a one to one basis or small group basis with children. Parent’s may even find them useful to pop in their child’s lunch box for example, or put one under their pillow to remind them about how amazing they are. There are 22 different cards altogether These cards can be printed on A4 card and there are 4 to each A4 sheet. Have a stack of them printed and ready to give out to your children. There is a mixture of ‘thinking of you’ type cards, ‘inspirational cards’ and even Birthday, Christmas cards.
