The “Classic Trilogy” Bundle

Description

Why Students Underachieve: What Educators and Parents Can Do about It is designed for all educators (teachers, administrators, and school support personnel) to easily access real stories of stressed or traumatized students in order to understand them, what they look like in the classroom and on the playground, and what their particular needs are. This book is full of personal stories, case examples, and most importantly, effective and easy-to-use tools that can be implemented immediately with stressed or traumatized students in order to first, do no harm, and second, provide them with a real chance for a promising future.

Hope and Healing: A Guide for Parents of Traumatized Children is a 25-page booklet available in English, Spanish and French for parents of stressed or traumatized children. I cannot tell you how many times I wished I would have had this exact booklet to give to my students’ parents when I needed to inform them about what their children were going through. This guide simply explains what stress and trauma are for a child, what it can look like at home and at school, and what parents or guardians can do to facilitate healing.

Hope and Healing: An Activities Book for Adults Working with School-Aged Children is a 60-page practical and easily accessible guide for any adult working with children who have suffered through trauma, tragedy or loss. It is the precise book I was searching for when I was working with so many troubled children who needed very specific kinds of therapeutic activities in order to heal from their experiences. Parents, teachers, and counselors or therapists of any kind can use the numerous activities in this book with individual children, or with groups of children, to help them tap into their resources, strengths, and resiliencies. Once the first book is read, the importance of completing the activities in the second book is clearly understood. The effectiveness of the ideas and recommendations in the second book would likely be compromised without referring back to the information in the first book where all of the activities are explained in greater detail and with examples.
