Safe Adults, Hard Adults (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645847901)

Experiences of abuse and neglect can be daunting to talk about for both children and adults. This book is designed to help you have those discussions in a constructive and meaningful way, encouraging children to recognise patterns of behaviour, understand the impact of trauma, and create a positive way forward. Without pointing fingers or using a bunch of complex psychological terminology, this book helps kids work things out for themselves. It is worded in the first person, so they know it is for them. The language used leaves it open to interpret the gender, age, and relationships involved. The book is sprinkled full of stories, activities, and positive affirmations, creating a positive and memorable learning journey.

Questions covered in the book include:

How can I recognise Hard Adult behaviour?

How do Hard Adults make me feel?

What do Hard Adults ask me to do?

How does trauma work?

What is genuine love?
