Helping Children Who Bottle Up Their Feelings

Sunderland, Margot; Hancock, Nicky

• A guidebook to help children who: are trying to manage their too painful feelings by themselves; do not let themselves cry, protest or say that they are scared; are living with too many unresolved painful emotions from the past; have had disturbing, overwhelming or confusing experiences, which they have been unable to think through or feel through properly; are full of unexpressed feelings because expressing them feels far too dangerous; and are full of unmourned grief.

"This guidebook is a useful resource for staff as it details the most relevant theories for the problem and offers case studies, photocopiable tasks and pictorial exercises to support youngsters who bottle up their feelings." — Joyce Sewell-Rutter, BATOD Magazine"Sunderland's whole series is excellent. I find I recommend each one... Good writing, wonderful artwork, a real impetus to use the material" — Adoption Today"A vital resource for all parents and child professionals" — Families Magazine"Margot's books are digestible teaching aids for anyone working with children - a resource that would be beneficial in every school both for qualified and non-qualified staff." — Special Children
