My Friendship-Guide - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A little book for the moments that are hard to put into words

Some children know exactly what they feel - they just don't know what to say. Everything happens fast, the words won't come, and afterwards there's a heavy feeling that's hard to explain.

My Friendship Guide is a write-in guide for children who find friendship harder work than it looks. It doesn't ask a child to be someone else. It hands them ready-made words, a way to slow down, and room to practise - at their own pace, with no wrong answers. Puffis, a small and friendly companion, is there on every page.

Six chapters, six practical tools:

• Words to Use - ready-made phrases for tricky moments, so nothing has to be invented on the spot
• Your Body & Feelings - what being "flooded" feels like, and a traffic light for slowing down before things spill over
• Your Thoughts - how a thought shapes a feeling, and a simple thought map for untangling the two
• Friendship From Both Sides - seeing your own part without being hard on yourself
• Keeping Track - spotting patterns over time, no pressure
• Extra Practice - more room whenever it's needed

Grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), one of the best-established approaches in child psychology. No guesswork - just tools that have been shown to work.

Who it's for: children roughly 7-12, and especially useful for autistic and ADHD children, and for anyone who finds social situations tiring. Each chapter opens with a short explanation and real examples, then hands over the pencil.

A good fit for home, and for school counsellors, SEN staff and speech and language therapists looking for something calm and concrete to work through together.

Everything comes in waves.
