• 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 Pursue Their Hopes and Dreams is a guidebook to help children who: Have been given too little encouragement to follow their hopes and dreams Are too despondent or defeated to go after their hopes or their dreams Are too busy surviving, so hopes and dreams are a luxury they cannot afford Think that hopes and dreams are just for other people Do not follow their dreams because they are too afraid of failing Are following somebody else's star Only dream small dreams for themselves, from a fear of being big.
