Participant Speaks

Savitri 13ttt says: The importance of circle time is  first of these helps to create order and to encourage people to listen to others. The second  and third help to ensure the emotional safety of children taking part: nobody should be forced to speak about something which they find embarrassing and nobody should be ridiculed for saying something in which they genuinely believe - however much others may disagree with their views. 
Circle time can be used to help solve problems which have been identified by either the teacher or the pupils. Problems and issues can be identified by brainstorming.
It can help young people develop skills such as listening and empathising; it can promote respect for others and self-esteem
