Hi Ben,

Thank you so much again for your presentation this evening that has got to be the first time I’ve never wanted a course to end. You are amazing at what you do and an inspiration, I wish there was more genuine and caring people like you in this world.

Many thanks

Hello Ben,

I have just attended your ‘Power of Play’ course and it was fantastic. I found it truly eye opening and I can honestly say it has been the most enlightening presentation I have watched in a long time. I really found that I got a lot from it.

I got so much from the course and I really can’t wait to put it into practice when I go back into my setting tomorrow.

You really have inspired me! Thank you so much. Warm regards

Written for anyone who works with children, has their own children or was ever a child themselves this book is the definitive book about play. “A wonderful book, engaging and easy to read, worth every penny, and thoroughly recommended.” Jim Morehouse

Why Children Need Joy

A brand new book from Ben Kingston-Hughes exploring the fascinating science behind why children fundamentally need joy in their lives. This book is a must for anyone seeking to improve outcomes for children. It is worth remembering that “joy” is not mentioned once in the EYFS and this book makes a compelling argument to include joy throughout childhood.
