It's All Narrative illustrates how to communicate proactively to build a strong inner voice in children, before moving on to detail how to positively challenge negative and/or worrying behaviour.

Industry Reviews
"I am honoured to have worked with Nick, who is so dedicated to supporting and changing the lives of others. "I absolutely love this book; it has an abundance of practical, useful and, most importantly, meaningful 'take aways', resulting in the ideas being much more likely to be put into practice.; "Nick can be proud of all he has done to help others in order to have the wisdom and knowledge to write the excellent content." Helen Morton (parent and head teacher of All Saints Primary School); "A beautiful book. I have certainly been left wanting more and wishing I had known this stuff earlier in my life-both as a parent and a professional." Eleanor Losse (parent, step-parent and head teacher of Manchester Grammar Junior School); "I have always liked that Nick's work is based in practical terms-what to say or do. It is not just a theoretical approach, and this comes across strongly in this short, readable and easily accessible book. "Reading It's all Narrative has given me a renewed sense of vigour, and I will be using Transformative Communication at the forefront of my teaching/leadership styles." Tracy Kendrick (head teacher of Hursthead Junior School); "Such an easy read, but with such insightful advice. "I know it's good, because I often find it an effort to read work-related things but honestly just wanted to keep reading! "I will be recommending it to all of our staff when it is published." Claire Love (parent and head teacher of Lane End Primary School); "Nick has written a book that is supportive and full of strategies that can easily be tried and taken on board. "The way Nick writes is easy to read, and this would be a helpful resource for any parent. "Through opening up and sharing his own challenges, Nick allows the reader to feel a shared understanding that the challenges we meet with our children are quite normal and more common than we may think. "The number of case studies allow us an insight into the strategies in practice and how, although they are not going to be easy, if you persevere, you will be successful. "Nick has shown fantastic perseverance in overcoming challenges and should be proud of his achievements and the compassion he so eloquently writes with throughout this book."
