A guide to harnessing the potential of children’s voices to transform the settings that form part of their everyday lives Presenting an easy to adopt step-by-step framework, this book argues in favour of children’s potential to advocate for themselves, in contrast to the current model in which adults take full control.

Tried and tested strategies from a bestselling author to help 9-13 year olds tackle their worries and fears Worry has a way of growing, shifting from not-a-big-deal to a VERY BIG DEAL in the blink of an eye.

Outsmarting Worry teaches 9-13 year olds and the adults who care about them a specific set of skills that makes it easier to face - and overcome - worries and fears. Smart, practical, proven techniques are presented in language immediately accessible to children with an emphasis on shifting from knowing to doing, from worried to happy and free.

Thoughtful and engaging, each story is a snapshot from a counsellor’s career. They address questions such as ‘What gets talked about?’, ‘What issues recur with young people and how are they addressed in supervision?’ and ‘What helps counsellors to move on when they’re stuck?’

A thought-provoking guide to help students overcome low self-worth Again and again, young people return to the question, “Am I the same as other people or am I different?” It’s a difficult question to answer. Everyone knows that they’re the same as other people in lots of ways yet they suspect that they might also be different. Or they want to be different... Or they accuse other people of being different... Or they get beaten up for being different... This book is about young people trying to find answers, or at least trying to live more comfortably with the question. Using dozens of recognisable vignettes, Luxmoore explores young people’s anxieties about ordinariness and extraordinariness, anxieties that affect everything: their behaviour, choices, relationships, happiness. He describes ways of working supportively and imaginatively with young people so that they can begin to find a better balance, enjoying their lives and achieving all sorts of things without losing sight of the fact that - underneath everything and like everyone else - they’re ordinary, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Introducing Arty, an inner coach to help children aged 8-12 manage negative thinking and improve their self-esteem My school day looks more like a prison sentence. There’s a maths test later, and I’m rubbish at maths. I’ve even left my English homework on the kitchen table and that means trouble with Mr Tinns. School can be a difficult and stressful place for a child, and sometimes they just need a little bit of help to manage it all. That’s where Arty comes in. He’s an inner coach, here to help each child achieve their very best. Offering children a creative way of helping to manage their own worries, Arty will help show children that they’re not alone in their struggles and that they always have choices, even when stuff happens that they don’t like. With practical guidance for parents and teachers on how to use the book and specific coaching activities, it is perfect for children aged 8-12, especially those who have a fear of failure.

Graphic novel starring an unpopular teenage octopus named Lucy, who discovers her hidden talents and learns about true friendship Lucy is an incurably uncool teen, and an octopus. For no reason at all (other than that she isn’t very “girly”), she is very unpopular, and even her parents don’t like her! The only friend who will hang out with her in public is Puffy, her pet puffer fish. But Lucy’s haters don’t know that she is secretly an awesome guitarist, and she has been picked to join everyone’s favourite local band, Lamington Fuzz. While Lucy rocks at doing her own thing, her classmates realise that spending time with the “cool kids” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be... Richy K. Chandler’s latest graphic novel is a celebration of being who you are, and a story about why it pays to be kind. Bubbling with fun and wit, it will buoy up the self-esteem of children aged 9+, and is a delight to read for big kids of any age.

This can be seen by the fact that half of schools do not teach anything regarding LGBT+, and only 3% include LGBT+ content in two or more subjects. This book will help transform your school into a safe and inclusive place for all students. Written with Educate & Celebrate!, an Ofsted and DFE recognised ‘Best Practice Award Programme’, this book gives teachers, governors and other staff the knowledge, strategies and confidence they need to implement a curriculum that is inclusive for all. Covering the changes to law, including the Equality Act 2010 which requires actively promoting acceptance, what language to use, case studies and much more, it is a must have guide for all schools.

The book is full of lesson plans, case studies, clear guidance and recommended actions as well as further reading and resources. Extending beyond awareness of other genders, this book provides a framework for a gender equality approach in the classroom, and empowers children to think critically about gender and to respect themselves and others.

Vibrant comic book that illustrates what consent means through active conversation between 13-18 year-olds While seemingly straightforward, Tia and Bryony hadn’t considered this subject too seriously until it comes up in conversation with their friends and they realise just how important it is. Following the sexual assault of a classmate, a group of teenage girls find themselves discussing the term consent, what it actually means for them in their current relationships, and how they act and make decisions with peer influence. Joined by their male friends who offer another perspective, this rich graphic novel uncovers the need for more informed conversations with young people around consent and healthy relationships. Accompanying the graphics are sexual health resources for students and teachers, which make this a perfect tool for broaching the subject with teens.

Let’s Talk Relationships offers a multitude of creative ways to get young people aged 13-19 talking about positive relationships, helping them to stay safe, healthy and happy. Ideal for groups or one-to-one work, this resource features over 90 tried and tested activities.

Join Joseph as he learns what forgiveness means and when it might (and might not) be appropriate Meet Joseph - Joseph is curious to understand more about forgiveness. He lost his sister’s brand new football. Although she forgave him, he feels really bad. Can he forgive himself? He told his friend Billy a big secret, but Billy has betrayed his trust and told other kids at school. Should he forgive Billy, especially when he is yet to say sorry? Joseph’s friend George is being bullied at school by Jasper. If George forgives Jasper, could Jasper go on to bully others in the future? This illustrated book is the ideal conversation starter for children aged 7+ to explore what forgiveness means, what it is and isn’t and when it might and might not be appropriate. Join Joseph as he learns what forgiveness is. Why is forgiveness important? Does it count as forgiveness when mum makes me apologise? Can I forgive someone who doesn’t even know they hurt me? This illustrated guide serves as the ideal introduction for children to think about forgiveness, and to develop their own understanding of what it means.

Learn, along with Maya, what gratitude means, and how to show it Meet Maya. Maya always tries to be polite, and to remember to say ‘thank you’ but she wants to learn what it means to be truly grateful. Should she be grateful to her teachers for their hard work, even though they’re only doing their job? Does she need to say thank you for the gifts she doesn’t really like - like the pink scarf Nani gave her last birthday? And when Laura gives her some earrings but later asks to copy her history project in return, should Maya be grateful and give her the thank you letter she has written? This illustrated book is an ideal conversation starter for children aged 7+, helping them to understand what gratitude means, recognise when it is appropriate, and develop their own ability to be genuinely grateful. Maya invites readers to learn with her what gratitude really means. Why should we be grateful, and who to? Why is it important to develop our own sense of genuine gratitude? This is the perfect guide to help children to think about and develop their own ability to understand gratitude.

Explores what forgiveness really looks like in practice and how we might better understand this core aspect of human relationships Forgiveness has often viewed as a religious obligation but is increasingly being advocated as a means of healing, release and promoting wellbeing. Forgiveness is variously viewed as a duty, virtue or cure, but when it comes to practising forgiveness in real life we find it is always caught up in the complexity of the situation. This book shines a light on how we tend to think about forgiveness in practice, including examples from social work, family therapy, chaplaincy and criminal justice. Written from many different perspectives, this eclectic volume challenges the reader to reconsider their assumptions about forgiveness, and illuminates everyday impact of forgiveness.

Join Sam as he learns what it means to be compassionate Meet Sam. Like most kids his age, Sam loves sport. His class have arranged a special football match to raise money for a charity which helps children who are suffering. Sam finds out more about how the money is spent and asks his mum for this week’s pocket money early, so he can donate to the charity. His mum says he does this because he’s such a kind boy. But when he asks his teachers about it at school the next day, they say it’s because he’s compassionate. Sam now has lots of questions about what this means. What is compassion? How can we become more compassionate? And what effects - both good and bad - does being compassionate have? Join Sam as he learns answers to these, and many more, questions about this important part of character education. What’s the difference between being kind and being compassionate? How can we become more compassionate? And why can being compassionate be so difficult? Learn, along with Sam, answers to these and many other questions about this important character value.

Provides parents and professionals with resources and guidance to help introduce children to their autism diagnosis Based on direct work with over 250 individual children, Andrew Miller wrote this book in order to provide parents and professionals with information, tools and guidance to help introduce children to autism in the absence of specialist support. This in-depth guide describes the practicalities of disclosure, including when to tell, who should do it and what they need to know beforehand with strategies to tailor your approach as every child’s experience will be different. Step-bystep instructions detail how to deliver the programme and produce with a child a personalised booklet containing information about their personal attributes and their autism. These booklets and follow-up material help make disclosure a positive and constructive experience for everyone. Accompanying material can be downloaded online including questionnaires, examples of children’s booklets and flexible templates.

“This fantastic ‘how to’ book takes adults step by step through the process of telling a child about their autism diagnosis. Written by an author who clearly has a lot of experience in this area, it is sensitively and reassuringly done.” - Davida Hartman, Senior educational psychologist, lecturer, trainer and author specialising in autism

Improving Learning through Dynamic Assessment

An insightful and accessible examination of the latest research on autism Incisive and engaging, Defining Autism considers the different genetic, neurological and environmental causes of, and contributory factors to autism, concluding that there is a ‘biological autism’. It takes a wide-ranging view of developmental and genetic autism factors, and considers autism’s relationship with other conditions such as epilepsy. It also works to shed light on the vast number of related syndromes which are all too often denied adequate attention. Thoroughly researched yet accessible, this key text uses a combination of genetics and neuropathological studies to cut through common misconceptions and persuasively argue that every case of autism has a ‘cause’, if a complex one, that it is a biological rather than behavioural condition, and that while there are many autisms, there is only one autism.

Help children with ASD make comfortable conversation with others by sharing interests in ‘the green zone’ In conversation, children on the autism spectrum often struggle to select topics of interest to others. Many have strong, narrow interests and feel compelled to introduce these subjects when they talk. This book provides a simple visual model to help children experience more success in finding common ground in conversation. The “Green Zone” is a visual representation of finding common ground between one person (blue) and another person (yellow) to create a “green zone” that represents the pair’s shared interests. The book, illustrated with hundreds of photographs representing the range of other people’s interests, clearly explains what the “Green Zone” is and how to find it, and contains many photocopiable conversation practice activities and reinforcement worksheets based on this simple visual. Ideal for use in classroom settings or at home, this attractive, full colour book is suitable for children on the autism spectrum aged 7 and up. Using bright colours and fun illustrations, this book will show children with Autism Spectrum Disorder aged 7 and above how to identify common interests in conversation, and how to go on to talk about them successfully. The photocopiable worksheets and activities encourage children to engage with this visual model and reinforce the method.

Explains to children with ASD how, just like a computer saves and shares files, people remember and share their impressions of each other This highly visual social skills book uses computer metaphors and visual diagrams to help children on the autism spectrum to understand how their words and actions can affect other people. Easily identifiable computing and social networking metaphors are used to explain how memories are saved in the brain, like files in computer folders, and how, just as files can be shared and downloaded on the internet, people learn about you by sharing their positive and negative impressions with each other. The author explains why certain actions may be ‘liked’ or ‘disliked’ by others, and offers guidance on appropriate and inappropriate social behavior. This book also features photocopiable worksheets to reinforce the guidance and lessons offered in the book. In what ways do people think about other people? Just like computers save and share files, people save and share their memories of one another. This highly visual picture book uses computer metaphors to explain to children on the autism spectrum how their actions and words can affect other people.

The award winning user guide to adolescence on the Autism spectrum Part of the Reading Well scheme. 27 books selected by young people and health professionals to provide 13 to 18 year olds with high-quality support, information and advice about common mental health issues and related conditions. Winner of the NASEN & TES Special Educational Needs Children’s Book Award 2003. Drawing from his own experiences and gaining information from his teenage brother and sisters, Luke Jackson wrote this enlightening, honest and witty book in an attempt to address difficult topics such as bullying, friendships, when and how to tell others about AS, school problems, dating and relationships, and morality.

“The Limpsfield girls certainly found their voice and it has all the urgency, immediacy and sheer vibrancy of teenage life... I hope that M’s journey will help girls with autism making that same journey through their early teen years to find themselves and believe in themselves .”

“Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome is a cool, confident work that belies the author’s youth. The experts reckon that Luke has a reading age of 18-plus, but most people that age would be hardpressed to produce such witty, effortless prose.”
