Abstract
Summarizes the author’s view that the pressures of our culture serve to make us suppress our feelings, sometimes to the point of numbness. Describes the cultural changes that the author believes need to come about before schools can become truly “health promoting”. Provides an exercise for use with children or adults to help them get in touch with their feelings. Lists children’s books recommended for use in schools which will help teachers tackle these issues.
