Helping Children who have hardened their hearts or become bullies cover

This is a guidebook to help children who:

  • bully or take revenge on others for the pain they have felt themselves
  • have become very defensive because something too painful has happened to them
  • have hardened their hearts because they have: been too hurt in love; met with too much harshness; witnessed parental violence; been repeatedly hit; been shamed or humiliated
  • had too many experiences of not being responded to
  • think they have lost their parent's love to someone else and have hardened their heart.

"If a child is to benefit from the full therapeutic potential of A Wibble Called Bipley, the accompanying guidebook will be a vital resource. It will enable the reader to offer the child a far richer and more empathic response to the issues the story raises. The guidebook details the common psychological origins and most relevant theories for the problems and issues in the story. Rather than seeking to blame, the author aims to offer support to parents, teachers and anyone looking after children who may encounter such troubled children, and enable them to use the story as a vehicle to help these children think about and work through their feelings." - Social Spectrum "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".
