Activities to help children cope when a friend moves away
Recenzii
"Claire Holmes has crafted a masterpiece. It should be a gift from every school to every single student aged 7–12 who will see a friend move away at the end of the year. Too often the adults' attention goes to the students and families packing their bags and boxes. This book fills a long overdue gap in the hearts and minds of the stayers. We have long suspected that the unresolved losses associated with being 'a stayer' can impact the ability of these students to make and maintain long-term emotional bonds with others. Claire’s book addresses this gap, with a storehouse of accessible tricks and tools. Do not be mistaken by the playfulness of her approach: it is based on sound psychological science mixing mindfulness, cognitive therapy, and polyvagal theory. This book will help kids stay well and fully reap the benefits of a life where change happens. We owe Claire Holmes a debt of gratitude for writing it."

"Staying Well is a true gem for kids facing difficult times. The activity book's creative approach makes it not just a book but a canvas for young minds to explore their emotions and questions and build their resilience. It's a practical guide that fosters self-reflection and personal growth whilst providing a platform for nurture and support at a difficult time. The Facilitator’s Guide is a reassuring companion for adults, equipping them with all the tools and insights to be the supportive rock a child needs during times of loss and change. These books are engaging and incredibly valuable, providing children and their supporting adults with the resources they need to navigate life's changes and challenges. A must-have for anyone supporting a child whose friend is moving away."
