The titles in this extraordinary series are a vital
resource. Nine practical guidebooks, each with an
accompanying beautifully illustrated storybook, have
been written to help children (aged 4-12) think about
and connect with their feelings. These guides and
stories enable teachers, parents and professionals to
recognise the unresolved feelings behind a child's
behaviour and to respond correctly to help. Each
guidebook focuses on a key feeling and is written in
very user-friendly language. The exercises, tasks and
ideas for things to say and do are specifically designed
to help children think about, express and process the
feeling to the point of resolution. Helping Children
Locked in Rage or Hate is a guidebook to help children
who: * Hurt, hit, bite, smash, kick, shout, scream or
who are out of control, hyperaroused or hyperactive *
Can only discharge their angry feelings in verbal or
physical attacks, rather than being able to think about
and reflect on what they feel * Are angry because it is
easier than feeling hurt or sad * Are locked in anger or
rage because of sibling rivalry * Are controlling and
punitive * Regularly defy authority or are diagnosed
with a conduct disorder * Commit cold acts of cruelty,
hurt animals or do not cry any more * Spoil, damage or
destroy what others do or make * Create fear in others
because they have locked away their own fears * Do not
want to please people, cannot trust, have stopped
looking for love or approval or truly believe they do
not need anyone * Do not really know how to 'like'
someone, and definitely do not know how to love someone
or are affectionate only if they want something. |
