Additional research, funded by SAMHSA in Louisiana schools, shows a reduction in discipline problems, a calmer school atmosphere, improved grades and more regular attendance. MIND MAGIC sessions create opportunities for family bonding, group cohesion and better communities. Stack your blocks, build your foundation for a better future while advancing the collective—home, school, hospitals, prisons, churches. It all begins with the magic of your skilled imagination.

[Miss J. · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I'm not sure I got it - it's a 80 page workbook but I feel like I lack some important parts, some instructions. Half of it it draw or write about your experience (and a blank page) but I failed to see the relevance. There are some usefull activities but all in all I'm not impressed.
