Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People and Picture Books

This set contains the guidebook Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People alongside seven therapeutic storybooks, including How Monsters Wish to Feel. The guidebook outlines ways to use these beautifully told and visually appealing stories to nurture emotional resilience with children. This set of guidebook and storybooks will be invaluable tools for anyone working to build emotional resilience with children and young people.

How Monsters Wish to Feel is a therapeutic story about a journey to develop emotional resilience. Using the analogy of the Japanese art of Kintsugi, whereby broken pottery is restored to wholeness with a golden lacquer, the story alludes to the importance of focusing on the strengths and protective factors in a child's life, rather than the problems and risks, in order to promote emotional resilience.

The guidebook provides practical strategies to support children's emotional resilience at a whole-school and more targeted level, centering around the 'Resiliency Rainbow Toolkit', a ready-to-use theoretical model that draws upon a range of ideas and approaches, offers learning objectives, facilitator notes, discussion questions and student activities that act as a resiliency building programme.

Each storybook tells of a journey centred around a particular theme; such as emotional resilience, self-care, friendship, stress, resilient thinking and dealing with loss. These beautifully illustrated storybooks will appeal to all children, and can be used by practitioners, educators and parents as a tool to discuss emotional resilience and other important issues with children.
