Recognising many of the difficulties facing teachers today, Dr Humphreys provides innovative and practical ways to bring about a more positive climate within staffrooms and classrooms. A key theme is that the self-esteem of teachers and students is a major determining factor of the relationships between teacher and teacher, teacher and student, and student and student. The resolution of problems within the staffroom and classroom needs to be based on the nature of relationships between the members of these two school systems. Dr Humphreys focuses on eight main areas: * stress management * self-esteem of teachers * staff relationships and morale * self-esteem of students * emotional and behavioural problems of students and staff * classroom management * whole-school approach * effective leadership At the end of each chapter there is a list of key insights and key actions that will lead to more effective personal, interpersonal and classroom management. This is a challenging book confronting many of the traditional approaches to teaching and discipline within classrooms.

Self-Esteem - The Key to Your Child's Education is a must for any parent concerned about their children's education and their personal and career development. Parents act as the mirror for their children, and their responses to them determine the image children form of themselves. How children see themselves in turn influences their academic progress. This book aims to help parents create a family environment that promotes their own and their children's self-esteem. Dr Humphreys makes it clear that without attention to children's inner conflicts and self-esteem, it is unlikely that attempts to increase children's educational efforts will be successful. He sets out a clear plant on how to foster children's love of learning, emphasising that the emotional welfare of children is the cornerstone of their educational development.

In this selection of his articles from The Irish Times and the Irish Examiner , he writes about everyday issues that affect all of our lives: relationships; family; education; care of self; work and wellbeing. Have you ever found yourself desperately trying to understand what men really want, teenage rebellion, workplace bullying? Can mother-in-laws really ruin marriages? How do you deal with the power of anger, children out of control, the stress treadmill, illness? 'Examining our Times' looks at these and lots of other issues and sheds light on concerns which can challenge and confuse us in our lives today. Full of intelligent observation and sound suggestion, Tony Humphreys points to possible ways for each of us to address these issues, all of them central to the way we live now.

Examining Our Times: For the Way We Live Now

A challenging new way to look at our lives from bestselling author and psychologist Tony Humphreys. We are not born bad, ugly, stupid, average, superior or inferior, yet these and other labels plague our adult lives. Why do we pigeonhole ourselves and put limits on our abilities? Our desire to be accepted by friends, family and the world at large forces us to bow to society's demands and shackles our true selves. Today's world worships at the altar of success. Magazines and television shows constantly offer us the chance to be somebody, anybody, but who we really are. We follow someone else's ideal until we end up with no idea of the person we were before we started. Whose life are we living? By giving up our freedom, we no longer belong to ourselves. We belong to those who have influenced and altered us. Dr Tony Humphreys questions the way we approach our lives and shows us how to emerge from the darkness that has hidden us. Following in the style of the bestselling 'The Power of "Negative" Thinking', this is an important book from one our most important writers in the area of psychology.

Whose Life Are You Living?

We don't all come from happy families. The reality is that families are a mixture of positive and hurtful experiences. Families are all about bringing children to a place of independence, so that as young adults they can fly the nest. However, some families are difficult to leave and offspring can remain unhealthily enmeshed. No two families are the same but each has the potential for being the most fertile ground for self-realization and self-fulfillment. Leaving the Nest is a new book by Tony Humphreys and is broadly based on his bestselling The Family, Love It and Leave It. It is aimed particularly at parents because although they are the family architects, they rarely have had any training for their role. But it is also for young adults who are struggling to find their own identities and establish their independence. Attitudes to family life have changed dramatically in recent decades; the need for sympathetic understanding and sound guidance has never been as great. Leaving the Nest provides invaluable insight for everyone who wishes to question or re-assess their role as a family member.
