Helping Children who Bottle Up Their Feelings

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 who Bottle Up Their Feelings is a guidebook to help children who:

Are trying to manage their too painful feelings by themselves
Do not let themselves cry, protest or say that they are scared
Are living with too many unresolved painful emotions from the past
Have had disturbing, overwhelming or confusing experiences, which they have been unable to think through or feel through properly
Are full of unexpressed feelings because expressing them feels far too dangerous
Are full of unmourned grief.
