This engaging resource offers a CBT-based approach for children aged 7-16, helping them build emotional resilience through imaginative characters and activities in The Homunculi Approach.
The second edition of The Homunculi Approach To Social And Emotional Wellbeing introduces an engaging and effective method for enhancing emotional and social resilience in children and young people aged 7 to 16. This innovative CBT-based activity invites students into the imaginative world of homunculi—miniature agents equipped with problem-solving gadgets that reside within the brain. These characters assist in managing distressing feelings and behaviors, making the approach both fun and educational. The book provides a comprehensive set of downloadable resources, templates, and videos to facilitate practical implementation in the classroom.
In The Homunculi Approach To Social And Emotional Wellbeing, practitioners will find a well-researched framework designed to help children recognize and articulate challenging emotions such as anger and fear. The approach is versatile and can be applied in various contexts, including bullying situations and the difficult transition from primary to secondary school. The inclusion of a large-format skull poster, character templates, and storyboard resources empowers educators to create engaging stories, cartoons, or videos that bring the homunculi to life.
This updated edition expands the reach of the homunculi concept, making it suitable for whole classrooms and mainstream schools. It emphasizes collaboration among pairs and individuals, fostering a supportive environment where children can build resilience together. With additional online resources showcasing real-life applications, The Homunculi Approach To Social And Emotional Wellbeing offers a unique opportunity for educators to inspire creativity and emotional growth in their students.
