Praise for the programme:

'The book is very reader friendly with many photographs and a layout which supports you in recognising important points and information... This is a delightful and useful resource which I recommend.' -- SEN Magazine As well as the health and physical benefits to all the young people, what has been most encouraging is the impact the initiative has had within the whole school. Schools have been using Tai Chi as a means of stress relief for pupils (and staff) prior to exams, as a means of calming children down after lunchtimes, as a way of focusing children in the mornings to start the day...the program has been a huge success. -- Andy Clay, Partnership Development Manager, Barlby School Sport Partnership, UK [Chi for Children] has been enthusiastically received by staff, parents and children and is now an established part of the PE curriculum. As a result of Tai Chi sessions, it is noticeable that the children are calmer and more focused. They also find it fun! -- E. Brown, Head Teacher, Fairburn Community Primary School, UK
