Craig Taylor

 

 

 

 

Craig's ceaseless exploration of what underlies the processes of growing up is the key to his success.

Having worked internationally and in a range of contrasting and challenging educational systems, he has accumulated a wealth of experience. “Children must have a process which enables them to leave their childhood and enter adolescence with more security than our present methods are offering. Without an emerging strength of character, the turbulence that follows increases a child’s vulnerability to stress, depression, dependence and lack of direction.”

This is his area of expertise - preparing those threshold experiences. It begins with play, a child's work. Whether it is by building, camping or expeditions, the inner quest is as important as the trek itself.

The goal is always to kindle the fires of enthusiasm, initiative, perseverence, empathy and good will.Young teenagers begin to develop strength of character by learning to balance freedom and responsibilty, based on the fires of childhood.”

Craig has has established Attitude Matters to provide the tools for putting this process in place, teaching our children how to navigate a safer passage through one of life’s most challenging periods.
