"Talking to young children about sensitive issues can be a real challenge. Knowing how to ask the right questions to find out the information you want to know, without scaring children or overwhelming them with too much information, is not easy.
What would you say to your child if they were labelled the class bully?
How would you help them cope if they were a victim of teasing or bullying?
How can you help them overcome separation anxiety?
Cope with divorce?
Accept a new baby in the family?
How do you discuss death, sexual abuse or cope with a terminally ill family member?
At times the responsibility of being a parent can be overwhelming!
All around the world, parents and childhood professionals are dealing with these issues and the negative impact they can have on a child's confidence, social skills, peer interaction, sense of security, self-image, health and development on a daily basis.
The multimedia resources I have developed are designed to help parents communicate with their child about sensitive life issues. They involve the child in a hands-on learning experience that causes them to think about life, feelings and consequences, while at the same time engaging them in important conversation with an adult.
They are an effective tool to get you and your child talking about the things that really matter.
I believe that every child has the right to feel safe and loved. I wish you and your child a fun-filled journey through life together."
