How teachers can build positive, appreciative bonds

While speaking to Briefly News, relationship expert Kelley Nele shared how teachers can help foster positive and appreciative bonds with their students by emphasising the importance of "words and of affirmation."

Kelley added the following:

"Encouragement is the best way for teachers to foster positive relationships with their students. These words of affirmation will not encourage students to do better and, as a result, achieve better, but will aid in cultivating self-esteem."
