Such a practical and hands-on realistic approach to support students in helping them achieve the best version of themselves. The author's passion for bringing out the very best in every child is evident throughout this great book. A must read. !

Gavin McCormack's view on the way education should be offered to young people is inspirational! The man changed my views on education and inspired me to challenge the status quo and start bringing a change to society in levelling the playing field between the disadvantaged and advantaged. We need to start helping students find their passions and their niche in order to really support them live fulfilling lives. Great work GM

It's easy to see why Gavin has become such a recognisable name in education: his experience shows in this timely book about actionable routines and skills we can all use to encourage our children towards being empathetic, independent citizens. This beautifully-illustrated, Montessori-inspired book will help you identify and develop the 'potential in every child'.

Childhood upbringing is so essential. Minute details play a vital role. For instance, Raising your child to have an opinion or preparing your child to share social connections is so crucial that it makes them who they are and will help them realise their purpose. “The Potential in Every Child” is just a brilliant portrayal of the book that could make a child ready for life. The book is powerful beyond measures. Thank you for this beautiful gift to the world, Gavin. 🙂

If you want to raise inquisitive, compassionate and resilient children then this is the book for you. The book is brimming with helpful suggestions, ways to communicate with your child, and is written in positive, encouraging prose. The author, Gavin McCormack, is not only a school principal, but a genuine Montessori practitioner, having lectured on the subject in Ted talks and taught its principals to other enthusiastic teachers. He is a genuine philanthropist, raising money and funding construction of schools in Nepal and he cares deeply about raising an educated and courageous future generation wherever those children may be based.

I'm glad to see Mr Gavin McCormack has written a book with his more than two decades of experience as a teacher to begin with and now as one of the phenomenal leader of primary school. His thoughts of how to handle your child is so simple and interesting that parenting becomes an effortless process. He interestingly connects each step towards evolvement as a parent so safe and secured that it will establish a harmonious relationship between the child, parent and the childhood of the child. Thank you Gavin for a book to treasure.
