Linda Lantieri joins forces with internationally renowned
psychologist Daniel Goleman to offer a breakthrough guide

and identify and manage their emotions.
Now available to the public for the first time,
here are Lantieri's proven techniques arranged according
to age group, complemented by a spoken-word CD

"We need a new vision of education that includes
the mind and the heart," says Lantieri. With Building

have the tools necessary to help build these invaluable skills
in the children they raise.
