Children need to be able to disclose their experiences of sexual
abuse in order to stop the abuse and get help. Practical and
accessible, this book offers guidance on how professionals can
identify potential abuse cases and create safe opportunities for
children to talk about sexual abuse. The book explores challenges
in facilitating and responding to disclosures of abuse, such as:
how to recognise the signs, ask the right questions and react to a
disclosure. It also draws on research carried out with children who
have experienced sexual abuse, to convey how experiences of
disclosure feel to those making them and what informs a decision to
tell or not tell. Helping Children to Tell About Sexual Abuse will
be suitable for any professional working with a child or young
person, including social workers, psychologists, child/family
therapists, health care workers, school nurses, school counsellors,
health visitors, police and youth workers.
Finding the Words: Talking Children through the Tough Times is for
parents or carers who who want to build confidence in talking with
their children about difficult subjects. Creating good channels of
communication with our children is an essential aspect of
parenting, but can often be challenging. This book emphasises the
importance of self-awareness: how we need to reflect on ourselves
and the way we are with our children before we can begin to foster
meaningful communication. It emphasises the importance of knowing
our own child's uniqueness - we, as parents and carers, need to
tailor our conversations, taking account of their individuality.
Drawing on the author's extensive professional experience, this
book also focuses on some key areas that may be difficult for
children to talk about, such as parental separation, death,
bullying and sexual abuse.
