About
Tina Gayle
I am a natural words person; always writing ... stories, articles, blogs, diaries and have three previous books in print. Two teaching guides on how to teach children using Edward De Bono’s Thinking techniques, and a book of short stories. I trained as a Play development Specialist, advising Local Authorities and Schools on the play needs of children & young people; and spent 10 years working in Children’s Social Care managing teams who were helping children to deal with some very difficult issues. I have had five children of my own, who are now aged between 12 and 27 years so I have helped children to deal with many difficult issues, and hope that by telling a story with a similar issue, the characters will provide well researched, effective and easy to understand solutions; that will teach children the skills of inclusion, equality, self- confidence, resilience, positive thought, and of course the most important of all… self-esteem!
