Shrinking the Smirch is a unique workbook for anybody who is living
with a long term physical or psychological condition including MS,
Parkinson's, brain injury, epilepsy, chronic fatigue, epilepsy,
stroke, cancer, depression, eating disorders, trauma or anxiety.
The workbook asks the reader to think about their symptoms as
something external to them - a smirch. A smirch is an annoying
little imaginary creature who seeks to make humans sad and
unhealthy. It helps you work out what your smirch makes you think,
feel and do and create an image or description of your own smirch.
It includes twenty practical ways to shrink your smirch ideas,
based on psychological approaches that have been proven to work
including narrative therapy, CBT, ACT, systemic and solution
focused models as well as mindfulness and positive psychological.
This book offers a dynamic approach to managing mental and physical
health challenges. Written in an accessible but unpatronising
manner with marvellous pictures and some positive humour make it an
easy read and will be a very useful resource for individuals with
health conditions as well as therapists, teachers, life coaches and
health professionals.
Tom has decided he doesn't want to live. Adam wishes he had a
choice. Tom's lost his job and now he's been labelled 'spermless'.
He doesn't exactly feel like a modern man, although his double life
helps. Yet when his secret identity threatens to unravel, he starts
to lose the plot and comes perilously close to the edge. All the
while Adam has his own duplicity, albeit for very different
reasons, reasons which will blow the family's future out of the
water. If they can't be honest with themselves, and everyone else,
then things are going to get a whole lot more complicated.
'How can we talk to our children about Brain Injury?' This is a
regularly asked question by parents who have suffered a brain
injury and their respective partners. This book has been designed
so that children between five and eight can read it independently.
However, ideally it should be used with an adult to facilitate
discussion about all aspects of family life and to enhance general
emotional wellbeing. This book deliberately makes brain injury one
of many things going on for this small group of children because
for most children it is only one of many issues in their family
life. This story is intended to emphasise that all families are
different, with their own strengths and weaknesses and different
experiences. Brain injury is another experience that some people
encounter and others do not. 'My Mum makes the Best Cakes' should
prove to be a great reassurance and comfort for children coping
with a parent's brain injury. The book presents situations in which
brain injured people can be angry, forgetful or unreasonable and
shows that it is not the fault of either parent or child and
children should not blame themselves. It also demonstrates the
positive aspects of life with a brain injured parent and the
enjoyable times that can be spent together'. Headway: The Brain
Injury Association. "This book has proved to be a very useful
support mechanism for service users and families in the Brain
Injury Rehabilitation Trust. We are sure that this will continue to
be the case, especially with the inclusion of new activity pages."

Rehabilitation Trust).

Collection of six episodes from the 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'
television mini-series. This series focuses on the Blue Ranger
(David Yost). The smartest student at high school, he is clever,
perceptive and as a skilled inventor he always prioritises solving
the Rangers' problems. In these episodes, the Blue Ranger finds
someone as smart as him to take to the school dance, enrols in a
karate class so he won't be bullied so easily, has his mind
accidentally swapped with that of another Ranger, and faces his
crippling fear of fish. The episodes are: 'Peace, Love and Woe',
'Dark Warrior', 'Switching Places', 'Something Fishy', 'Grumble
Bee' and 'Blue Ranger Gone Bad'.
Hey you
When you really know someone, you call them by their name.
Everyone is unique and has a name that is special to only them. You
may be named after a mother, father, or other special relative.
Another name might be selected because there is a special meaning.
For example, the name Brooke means "peaceful." The name Dakota
means "brave." Did you know that God has special names too? God can
be called Elohim or Adonai. You will know your friends and God
better by spending time with them. Come and discover how a name is
important to you and to God.
'My mum bakes awesome cakes' is a story book for primary school
aged children. The story is about a small group of children. Leah's
mum has a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It creates an
opportunity to talk with children about the symptoms of MS as well
as other aspects of friendship like anxiety, competition, strengths
and weaknesses and talking to each other. It includes a question on
each page, eg, 'what do you like doing with your dad' and 'what
makes you feel sad' to help discussion about all aspects of living
with a relative with multiple sclerosis. It includes activity
pages, a relevant word search, spot the difference and drawing
pages that allow children to have fun as they talk about what is
happening in their lives. This book will be useful for families,
therapists, health professionals and teachers to use with children
who have a relative with MS or with all children to raise awareness
of a common health diagnosis as another example of diversity. "This
book is fantastic, it is the perfect tool to start conversations
with children. It gives straightforward explanations of symptoms
without being too medical. This will be a great resource for
families, teachers and health professionals". (Lisa black MS
specialist nurse).
'Grandpa Sea Shells' tells the story of three young children who
spend a day with their grandparents after their grandfather has
been diagnosed with dementia. The book is intended to support
conversation at the time of first changes in a relative, a
diagnosis of dementia and mild to moderate progression. Families
and clinicians have told us this is the time period when they need
material to support their explanations to children. Whilst the book
could be used to start a conversation about any form of dementia,
most of the key symptoms described in this story reflect the
typical features associated with the Alzheimer's type, as this
continues to be the most common. This book has been designed so
that children of between four and ten can read it independently.
Ideally it should be used with an adult to facilitate discussion
about all aspects of family life and to enhance general emotional
wellbeing. The book deliberately makes dementia one of many things
going on for this family and highlights things that families can
still enjoy together. We have included ideas for positive
activities at the end of the book as well as puzzle and description
pages that children can enjoy doing with a family member, teacher
or clinician.
'My dad makes awesome boats' is a story book for primary aged
children. The story is about two friends, Oscar and Samuel. Oscar's
dad has a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It creates an
opportunity to talk with children about the symptoms of MS as well
as other aspects of friendship like competition, strengths and
weaknesses and talking to each other. It includes a question on
each page, eg, 'what do you like doing with your dad' and 'what
makes you feel sad' to help discussion about all aspects of living
with a relative with multiple sclerosis. It includes activity
pages, a relevant word search, spot the difference and drawing
pages that allow children to have fun as they talk about what is
happening in their lives. The book will be useful for families,
therapists, health professionals and teachers to use with children
who have a relative with MS or with all children to raise awareness
of a common health diagnosis as another example of diversity. "This
book is excellent, it will help families as it is talking about
very routine things that children understand. This will be a
fantastic resource for children, teachers and health
professionals". (Katrina Orchard MS specialist nurse).
