Product Description
Product Description
"Talking To My Mum" is an activity pack for 5-8-year-olds whose families have experienced domestic abuse to help and encourage them to open up to their mothers about their distressing experiences. Based on the authors' work with families who have experienced domestic abuse, the book is full of illustrated worksheets, featuring animal characters who encourage the young reader to explore a range of memories, such as changes in the family's living arrangements or happy memories with siblings or favourite toys that each prompt a particular emotion. These activities are accompanied by guidance on how to use them appropriately. "Talking To My Mum" is designed for children and their mothers to complete together, and will assist both child and mother with improving communication about the past, present and future. This activity pack will be an essential tool for families with children who have lived through domestic abuse, as well as social workers and other professionals working with them.

This book is brilliant, it gives you an insight into how your child could be feeling (things you would not normally think about), i did not go through all the exercises with my Child but i did read the book first to check it was appropriate for him to read and we both picked the subjects to talk about. I helped him realise there was positive's out of each situation and now he has a smile on his face knowing he doesn't need to keep his feelings to himself.
