Review
�This book is long overdue. It speaks eloquently to the issue of how to help promote children�s physical and
psycho-social health, thereby positively influencing their school adjustment and performance. The authors go beyond
theorizing to practical examples and solutions�. Program design, implementation processes, standards and evaluation,
as well as the adequate preparation of staff are all critical elements in building successful school health programs
and this book explores all of these�. This book should be read by all of us who care deeply about the total and
healthy development of all children in our schools.�
