The sound of Sam's life was like the best piece of music you have
ever heard. Everyone liked Sam, and Sam liked himself. But then one
day the mud words begin and they get inside his head - and Sam
can't hear the music anymore. Mud Boy is an illustrated book for
ages 5-11, showing how children can go from being joyfully buoyant
to totally deflated when being bullied and teased, and offering
advice to get them back to their best. Mud, music and a family cat
are used to conjure up the story to children in a very new and real
way, showing that recovery happens through talking to others about
our problems. The book also includes a guide for further talking
points by Dr Pooky Knightsmith on how to discuss the topic, and the
emotions that come up on reading the book, with children.
Talking about Domestic Abuse is an activity pack for children of
nine years and above and adolescents where families have
experienced domestic abuse, to help and encourage them to open up
to their mothers about their distressing experiences. Based on the
authors' work with families who have experienced domestic abuse,
the activities are designed around four important themes: building
self-esteem; naming feelings; facilitating communication between
mothers and children; and talking about personal experiences,
including domestic violence, and are accompanied by photographs
which act as prompts for discussion. The authors explain the need
of young people to communicate with their parents about painful
memories. They also establish practical 'ground rules' on how
mothers can enter into that communication successfully and how to
make the most of the activities provided. Further information is
also given on support services that are available to families
coping with domestic abuse. This will be an essential tool for
families including young people who have lived through domestic
abuse, as well as social workers and other professionals working
with them.
