Description
This unique resource comprises a therapeutic workbook and storybook, designed to be used as an early intervention with children within the school setting who display concerning sexual behaviour. The workbook contains a series of activities with accompanying user-friendly advice including how to broach difficult subjects, how to engage with children who have additional needs and how to create conditions of safety to enable the necessary conversations and activities to happen.
The programme of work culminates in the creation of a unique and dynamic Safety Plan which is developed collaboratively with the child (as the expert) together with key adults in their lives. The Safety Plan is designed to meet the needs of the child and gives attention to their cultural context and specific likes/interests; this ultimately keeps them and other children safe from further incidents or allegations of sexually concerning behaviour.
The accompanying storybook, Billy and the Tingles, employs narrative therapy, telling the story of a child with sexually concerning behaviour and addressing contemporary issues of exposure to pornography.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
"There is a real lack of information to support those helping children whose sexual behaviour is beginning to cause concern. This is particularly the case for children in their pre-teen years. Laura Walker and Carol Laugharne have stepped in and have provided a practical resource aimed at children between 7 and 11 years old. Their resource pack and the accompanying children's story book are written with care and sensitivity. They are strengths-based and offer children and families the chance to deal with concerns in an informed and constructive way. Suitable for a wide range of professionals, not just those in specialist 'harmful sexual behaviour' services, the resource pack will be enormously helpful as a core part of the toolboxes of professionals dealing with this difficult topic." — Professor Simon Hackett, Durham University and Chair of the National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers (NOTA).
