MNHQ - need your thoughts quickly on NICE guidelines to schools on "playing nice"

Hi all - quick canvas of opinions if you don't mind.

New guidance says schools should teach children as young as four about conflict resolution and managing their feelings.
NICE have actually produced guidance on this for schools.

We've got to give Telegraph a quote in next hour - so what are your thoughts on this? Does it sound like telling them to ?play nice? to you?

Agree that schools should teach all these things - but think angle is that NICE is getting involved.

Yes - apparently!

Thank you - just had a quick chat and summarised (I hope correctly) by saying that, while the general consensus is that anything that can be done to promote a whole school/healthy school ethos is to be applauded, these issues have been being addressed for a number of years now (via Seal and Healthy Schools scheme etc) so you can't help but wonder whether NICE's efforts would be better focused elsewhere - e/g/ on the NHS rather than our playgrounds.
