Stories and activities to help build self-esteem, confidence, positive body image and resilience in children Naomi Richards and Julia Hague APR 2016 • 240pp • £16.99 pb-9781849057134 • ebook-9781784502362

A photocopiable collection of stories and activities to help children aged 5-11 learn to appreciate their unique brilliance

With 29 real life and relatable stories at its heart, this practical resource is designed to help build self-esteem and body confidence in children aged 5-11. Each story is the focus of a ready-to-use lesson plan, covering common issues that affect children such as a lack of body confidence, feeling pressured by peers and worries about puberty. The stories are preceded by guidance on how to introduce the topic and the learning outcomes, and they are followed by a range of activities to reinforce the messages being taught. The stories can either be read aloud to a class or group or photocopied and shared for individual reading.

Perfect for use in PSHE lessons with groups of children, or in one-to-one settings in the therapy room or at home, this book is a useful resource for PSHE co-ordinators, teachers, school counsellors, pastoral care teams, youth workers as well as parents.

‘A treasure trove of stories for opening up discussions with 5 to 11 year olds about a wide range of issues which may be troubling them.

I’ll be keeping my copy close to hand and sharing it widely.’

‘Reading Sex, Drugs and Asperger’s Syndrome feels like having a conversation with an older brother or cousin. He advises without preaching, explains without boring and throws in enough jokes to make the entire reading experience thoroughly enjoyable... From bullying to drugs, employment to nights out, and mental health to sex, it includes the entire spectrum of life without judgement, leaving no stone unturned.’

- Penny Gotch, Disability Now ‘With wisdom beyond his years and the mastery of an expressionist artist, Luke guides the reader through the rocky shoals of successful transition from adolescence to adulthood as a person on the autism spectrum. A straightforward, honest must read for anyone seeking greater understanding of the coming of age of the human soul, autistic or otherwise.’

- Stephen Mark Shore, Ed.D., Clinical Assistant Professor of Special Education at Adelphi University

Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome A User Guide to Adolescence Luke Jackson 2002 • 216pp • £13.99 pb-9781843100980 • ebook-9781846423567

The award winning user guide to adolescence on the Autism spectrum

Winner of the NASEN & TES Special Educational Needs Children’s Book Award 2003.

Have you ever been called a freak or a geek? Have you ever felt like one? Luke Jackson is 13 years old and has Asperger’s Syndrome.

Over the years he has learned to laugh at such names but there are other aspects of life which are more difficult. Drawing from his own experiences, Luke wrote this enlightening, honest and witty book in an attempt to address difficult topics such as teenage years, bullying, friendships, relationships and morality for those on the autism spectrum.

‘I have two autistic sons and have read many books on the subject; this is one of the most useful. There should be a copy in the staffroom of every school with an AS pupil - which, at the rate things are going, means nearly every school.’

- Daily Telegraph

Honest insights and practical advice for professionals working with young people who are trying to understand sex and sexuality

Ellis’s mother is angry because he’s been watching porn. Sheron says she hates her body. Mitchell’s upset because Jack doesn’t want to have sex with him...

Sex affects everything. It may not be the single most important thing in a young person’s life, but it’s always important and a crucial means by which young people try to understand themselves, whether they’re in sexual relationships, on the brink of sexual relationships or watching from afar.

Yet sex and sexuality are subjects that many adults (including parents, counsellors, teachers and other professionals) are wary of talking about with young people.

This book is about helping young people feel less anxious about sex and sexuality. It’s also about helping professionals feel more confident. Weaving case material with theory and discussion, Nick Luxmoore describes vividly the dilemmas faced by so many young people and suggests ways of supporting them effectively at such a crucial and sensitive time in their lives.

Billy Bramble likes rude words, smelly farts, loud farts and freestyle sneezing but when BAD THINGS happen, his invisible angry dog Gobber barks in his ears, gives him brain mash and breaks things. One day a competition is announced at school The Great Big Cook Off - can Billy Bramble defeat Gobber and change his epic bad luck?

An irreverent story for children aged 8-12 about a less than perfect boy, this book will inspire any child who’s ever secretly thought they might be less than perfect too.

out now in paperback High achievers from the acting, singing, athletic and business worlds come together in this collection to talk about the challenges and strengths that dyslexia has presented them with throughout their lives

23 very well-known people from the arts, sport, and business worlds talk about how dyslexia affected their childhood, how they were able to overcome the challenges and use the special strengths of dyslexia to achieve great success in adulthood.

Darcey Bussell CBE, Eddie Izzard, Sir Richard Branson, Meg Mathews, Zoe Wanamaker CBE, Richard Rogers, Benjamin Zephaniah, Steven Naismith, Lynda La Plante CBE, Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, Sophie Conran and others share their stories, and their advice.

All reveal the enormous difficulties they faced, the strength required to overcome them, the crucial importance of adult support, and how `the different way the brain is wired’ in dyslexia has enabled them to see something different in the world and to use their creativity in an exceptional way. They talk about `thinking sideways’, and the ability to look at a bigger picture, the often strong visual strength, and the ability to listen, and to grasp simplicity where other people see only complexity.

They also talk about how dyslexia continues to challenge them, and the ways they have found to work around this.

An introduction, and final section that includes practical information about dyslexia, are written with the support of Dyslexia Action, and a percentage of profit from the book is donated to Dyslexia Action. The book will be essential reading for teachers and other professionals, and for families affected by dyslexia, and inspirational for people with dyslexia.

‘This book provides clear and inspirational hope for anyone with a dyslexic child. Like many excellent books it is written from personal experience. I strongly recommend it.’

- Sian Griffiths, Education Editor, The Sunday Times

‘An inspiring read which will encourage children to get cooking in order to make delicious food and also gain confidence in their own abilities.’

Jo Ingleby, BBC Cook of the Year 2015 and Chef in Residence at Redcliffe Children’s Centre

‘I like the way Billy has an invisible dog. It is one of the best books I have read.’

A step-by-step Cognitive Behavioural Therapy plan for adolescents with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a potentially life-long debilitating disorder, which often emerges during teenage years and affects as many as 1 in every 50 people. Young people living with OCD experience recurrent obsessions or compulsions that are distressing and interfere with their social lives, relationships, educational functioning and careers.

Written by leading experts on OCD, this step-by-step guide is written for adolescents with OCD and their families, to be used in home treatment or as a self-help book. Using the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is the proven method for helping those with OCD, it offers teenagers a structured plan of treatment which can be read alone, or with a parent, counsellor or mental health worker. The guide provides useful advice and worksheets throughout.

This self-help book for young people is an invaluable resource for adolescents who have suffered from, or know someone who has suffered from, OCD, their families, teachers, carers, and mental health professionals.

‘Breaking Free from OCD should be a staple book for OCD sufferers and their families. It ditches confusing medical jargon in order to give constructive and helpful information and advice. It is the kind of book which I wish I had owned when my OCD was at its worst, one which shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and shows you how to get there.’

Packed with first-hand coping strategies for children and adolescents growing up with OCD

As many as 2 in every 100 people suffer from ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder (OCD), and 16-year-old Joe Wells is one of them. In Touch and Go Joe, he tells the story of his battle with OCD from its insidious beginnings at age 9 and increasingly intrusive symptoms, to diagnosis at age 12. Having struggled to keep the condition a secret for years, he is now able to talk and write openly about OCD and how he battled to overcome it.

This book is packed with advice and coping strategies, as well as first-hand accounts of available treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy and medication. Written in an informal and accessible style, and including his own humorous illustrations, Touch and Go Joe gives an upbeat yet realistic look at the effect of OCD on adolescent life.

This honest and amusing account will raise awareness of this all-too-common, yet frequently misdiagnosed disorder and will be of interest to anyone who has suffered from or knows someone who has suffered from OCD, including children and adolescents, teachers, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, parents and carers.

‘A fantastic achievement - as equally valuable as an inspiration for those with the condition and an insight for those who wish to understand it better. A brave and fascinating book.’

A charming illustrated story for children aged 7-11 about learning to control their emotions and overcome their fears

A charming, illustrated story for children aged 7-11 about bullying, developing empathy and helping others

“Your superpowers are real, not make believe.”

When seven-year-old Ollie’s brand new trainers get stolen by bullies, he feels too scared and embarrassed to tell his mum.

Luckily, Ollie’s friend Mr Wilcox knows how to keep a secret.

Once Ollie confides in Mr Wilcox about the shoes, Mr Wilcox decides to let him in on a secret of his own... He has superpowers, and Ollie can have them too! Meet Courage, Bravery, Strength and Calm - just a few of Ollie’s very own superpowers. Under the guidance of Mr Wilcox, Ollie learns that he can control his superpowers in order to overcome his fears, starting with those bullies.

“It’s time you met one of your most important superpowers...”

The Captain is disappointed when Ollie feels like laughing at his clumsy classmate Adam, and decides that it’s time to introduce him to one of the four super superpowers, Empathy.

Empathy transports Ollie into Adam’s shoes and teaches him how to understand and share Adam’s feelings. But with Empathy comes great responsibility, and the chance for Ollie to return to the library to earn his first Captain’s stripe. Can Ollie use his superpowers to win the golden stripe and help Adam to overcome the bullies?

‘Alison has written an excellent book which enables children to better understand, label and talk about their emotions. Ollie and His Superpowers provides a great framework for encouraging discussions with children about their emotional regulation in a fun and understandable way.’

‘Empathy is so essential to helping create a better society with understanding and compassion. The more children who can understand this, the more hope for our future. I for one will be using and recommending Ollie as a teaching aide for many years to come.’

From Despair to Recovery Rosemary Hayes and Carrie Herbert 2011 • 192pp • £13.99 • pb-9781849051231 • ebook-9780857002273

Extreme bullying can have devastating effects: it can leave a child severely traumatized, their self-esteem destroyed, and in deep despair. Many children who have been severely bullied are unable to attend school, and are deeply scarred by what has happened.

This book reveals these shattering effects by telling the stories of eight children who have experienced extreme bullying and then found their way to recovery at a Red Balloon Learner Centre – a place where children can go to continue their education and recover their self-esteem, confidence and feelings of self-worth. Their stories also act to highlight common issues which often lie behind bullying behaviour such as weight, sexuality, race and religion. Guidance is given on what teachers and parents can do to help a child who is being bullied or a child who uses bullying behaviour, and what the bullied children themselves can do. Also included is a section on understanding bullying behaviour – how to read the signs, why some children may be targeted, what forms it can take, and why children often remain silent.

This moving and insightful book is essential reading for all those who have encountered bullying: for parents and teachers, those who have been or are being bullied, and for those who do the bullying and their families.

A comic to introduce children aged 8-13 to the principles of restorative justice for conflict resolution

An overview of the theories that underpin restorative practice

Designed for use in schools, this comic teaches children about restorative justice through the story of Jake and Ryan. After a misunderstanding between Jake and Ryan leads to a fight in the playground, both boys are left feeling angry and fearful about what might happen when they see each other again. Rather than keeping Jake and Ryan apart, their teacher arranges a restorative meeting to allow the boys to understand the situation from the other’s perspective and transform their negative emotions into positive ones.

This comic is a key resource in helping children aged 8-13 to understand restorative justice and prepare for a restorative meeting. The comic also features a resource section for teachers, explaining more about restorative practices and how they can be used in schools to foster respect and emotional literacy among students.

Learn what happens to the body after death as Alex shares the story of what happened to his daddy’s body

A true story about Alex, the death of his daddy, and how his mum helped him to understand what dead means

My daddy died when I was (one...two...) three years old. Today we are out in the garden. It always makes me think about my daddy because he LOVED his garden. Sometimes, I wonder what happened to my daddy’s body...

This picture book aims to help children aged 3+ to understand what happens to the body after someone has died. Through telling the true story of what happened to his daddy’s body, we follow Alex as he learns about cremation, burial and spreading ashes. Full of questions written in Alex’s own words, and with the gentle, sensitive and honest answers of his mother, this story will reassure any young child who might be confused about death and what happens afterwards.

When we were on a No Girls Allowed! holiday, my daddy’s heart stopped beating and I had to find help all by myself. He was very badly broken. Not even the ambulance people could help him...

This honest, sensitive and beautifully illustrated picture book is designed to help explain the concept of death to children aged 3+. Written in Alex’s own words, it is based on the real-life conversations that Elke Barber had with her then three-year-old son, Alex, after the sudden death of his father. The book provides reassurance and understanding to readers through clear and honest answers to the difficult questions that can follow the death of a loved one, and carries the invaluable message that it is okay to be sad, but it is okay to be happy, too.

‘Elke has once again captured what is needed for aiding bereaved children’s understanding. Sensitive, caring and developmentally appropriate, this book is a fantastic resource for explaining what happens to a person’s body after death.’

‘I can think of no better way to communicate with a very young child about a sudden death. This book will be highly recommended on our suggested reading list.’

A heartfelt, hopeful and humorous look at dementia through the eyes of young people

Brie’s Grandad has always been a serious man, never without a newspaper and knowing the answer to everything. But now he keeps losing track of the conversation, and honestly, Brie doesn’t really know how to speak to him. At first, Fred was annoyed that Gramps had come to live with them, it meant he had to give up his room! But then he starts to enjoy watching old films with him and spending time together... although there’s the small problem of Gramps calling him Simon.

Follow the stories of Brie, Fred, and other young carers as they try to understand and cope with their grandparents’ dementia at all stages of the illness. Adapted from true stories, and supplemented with fun activities and discussion ideas, this book for children aged approximately 7-14 cuts to the truth of the experience of dementia and tackles stigma with a warm and open perspective.
