Description
The effects of conflict and emergencies on children can be devastating, both physically and psychologically. They need special understanding and support to help them through the crisis and deal with the future. "Communicating with Children" aims to help those working in conflict situations and emergencies to develop their listening with special needs. It deals with the importance of understanding different cultural ways of communicating and coping with stress, overcoming blocks in communication, giving comfort, talking to families, preventing "burn-out", and more. Using case histories to ilustrate the problems facing children, this manual suggests ways of resolving them. Practical exercises and details of how to run workshops allow readers to develop the ideas outlined. "Communicating with Children" is the second in a series of development manuals and should be a valuable tool for all those involved in developing services, as well as training and supervising others. This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter on vulnerable children.
