I have been following Dr. Seligman teaching and strategies. I too! Have started on myself then my family and than my students. It truly is amazing if it is practiced for 90 days.

Indeed, behind supporting students in improving their academic performance, is the need, one that is fairly necessary, to raise awareness and support students' wellbeing, based on the strong correlation between pupils' grades and mental satisfaction.

In response to the first question (or conversation) between Karen Jones and Martin Seligman. BridgeteJane of New Leaf Nutrition would be a fantastic 'beginning' contact to start with a real overhaul of 'physical health' using a combination of psych strategies (especially well-being strategies) in Australia. She would still need to be trained-up further (the same can be said for all of us) but it is a natural part of her world view from what I (Rachael Holdsworth) can tell so far....

"Being a pessimist is about the equivalent of smoking 2 and 1/2 packs of cigarettes a day." Wow.

I know kids in KIPP who hate it. I think it indoctrinates and underestimates kids who already have good character.
