A unique friendship toolkit for parents and educators
Little Wise Toys' 'Helping Young People Navigate Friendships' is a unique resource that can help and support parents, carers, teachers and other professionals working with young people. The guide is absolutely packed with ideas: conversation starters, conversation prompts, role play scripts, scenarios, brainstorming tools, affirmation cards and much more! It is very refreshing to also see a section to help neurodivergent children which focuses on acceptance of neurodivergent differences.
The beauty of this practical guide is the way it prompts young people to reframe negative thoughts and experiences into something that they can learn from and ultimately grow as a person. The positive overall message is very empowering as the guide provides practical ways of helping children to reflect and helps them to come up with their own solutions, for example, in setting boundaries, speaking up for themselves and standing up for their values. I think these nurturing lessons are ones that adults will benefit from as much as children.
