When I first experienced the power of story as 'healing' for challenging behaviour - both in my own and other people's children - it felt as though a light had illumined the dark. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

A wonderful collection of therapeutic stories to integrate into therapy sessions. Stories are beautifully written to address a wide range of issues including dishonestly, disruptive behaviour, shyness, bullying, grief, and separation anxiety. An important addition to the field!Liana Lowenstein, MSW, Author of "Creative Interventions for Troubled Children and Youth"

Beautiful book that encourages our inner creative parent,
By K. L. Bridge - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour (Paperback)
This book lays out ways to develop yourself as a storyteller while giving background in how healing/encouraging stories are important for children's development and stages of growth. (Stories give an inner picture for the developing) My husband and I both appreciate this book and have pulled out the book for times when we are noticing a pattern in our child that is developing (eg. not sharing with others). The index for stories if very easy to use... and both our children have enjoyed the stories for over a year now... (children 4 and 7 now). In fact, we have read these stories even when we have not had "challenging behaviour"-- they are simple and enjoyable.

Thirsty for more!,
By SunflowerGarden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour (Paperback)
Since reading this book, I have gone from being a storytime reader to story teller. I have used Susan Perrow's stories with my son, family, friends, and in the classroom. Her book has been instrumental in helping me to understand the power of storytelling and the benefits. The stories are very satisfying to the listener and when the children see me again, they ask for another story. On my end, storytelling does not come naturally. The tips on successful story telling and how to create your own stories have been especially useful.

Delightful Stories,
By Nurture - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour (Paperback)
I have had the pleasure of attending Susan's Storytelling Workshop which I really enjoyed. For almost a year now I have been reading the stories from this book to both my 6 and 3 (age appropriately) year olds. They absolutely love these stories and I am constantly asked to read "just one more please mummy". They even ask to read these stories when they wake first thing in the morning too. These stories will delight all children and are not meant only for those with challenging behaviours.Susan's model for story writing is simple and clear. If you wish to learn to write your own stories or share some wonderful stories with your children, I highly recommend this book. Susan's stories are wholesome and so enjoyable. I am quite inspired to start illustrating these stories with my children as an artistic activity, thereby allowing the stories to live more fully within us. Thank you Susan !!! |
