E-grāmata: Creative Storytelling with Children at Risk 2nd edition [Taylor & Francis e-book]

This book is about ways in which we can tell and create stories with children who are troubled. Out of the stories can come plans, changes and variations, so that children can feel more empowered to take action and ask for help. The book includes stories for: play development; senses; assessment; and, emotions. The book also covers a range of fairy stories, myths, legends and suggestions for creating stories together. This practical book will improve play skills - through storytelling and storywork - of anyone working with children, especially with children 'at risk' such as looked-after children, or children suffering from trauma or abuse. Features of this second edition: fully revised and updated; brand new or re-worked stories; new illustrations; a better balance of cross-cultural stories; new stories in conjunction with ritual and drama; and, new material on creating safety nets for children through containment by the stories.
