The authors write: 'Current research shows that our children's success in life will depend less on their 'traditional' IQ and more on their emotional intelligence - their ability to form successful relationships, be more understanding of others and form a positive outlook on life. They will need the new Three Rs: the values of respect, responsibility and relationships. These values underpin every student's capacity to thrive at school.'
