Would you like your children to be more friendly, be able to deal with bullying appropriately, to thinking positively and learn more about team work? If the answer is yes, then you should check out the newly redesigned kidzmix website.

Helen Davidson is an Occupational Therapist and a Family Therapist and runs many courses and seminar about social and emotional development in children.

The kids from the illustrations have been placed in the page to link this with the Kizmix publication. The two children in the footer appear to look at the content of the website, focusing attention on the content of the page.

The ball next to the main title will automatically appear next to all main headings.
