BLURB
'Teaching Children how to deal with unpleasant experiences in life - such as getting lost, being bullied, being asked for hugs and kisses by strangers or even by people the Children know - is difficult.

Difficult because every caring parent and adult wants to protect children without damaging their natural openess and curiosity about the world and its inhabitants.

Here Michelle Elliot not only offers a superb teaching tool every parent will want, but also an exciting picture book about the adventures of Mike, Emma, James and Anne. I can't recommend it too warmly '

It's a nice read that opens up the opportunity to discuss secrets.

My copy features the DVD which is an animation of the book's illustrations, and would be great if you have access to a portable/static player, PC or laptop.

In the flow of the story line - Sid discovers he can fly, but no one at School takes him seriously and Sid feels sad.

Back at home Sid's Dad asks why he looks sad ..


Excellent for any child protection and awareness book list or resource policy.

If you use the title for training & development in looking at how to deal with situations of secrecy / requests to maintain secrecy please let us know what you did and how it went ..

Does the top book have an age range it is aimed at?

hi thanks for that information i rang and they have sent the books out and its really good book i saw on one website it cost 6.99 and it will cover lots of my 305 lev 3 ccld when i readthis to the kids thanks again njs

Hi, I think it's recommended for use with Children 6yrs and under although I'd personally use it with older, and for many aspects of cpd - professional development.

There's more info on the Home Office website: Crime reduction and also a poster that's available as a pdf download / hardcopy - Protecting your children

njs, you're very welcome, its a great resource to have, free or purchased xx

You can't get it anymore, I've just tried! The lady I spoke to said it was only available to download from the crime reduction catalogue - which I can't find anywhere. The Home Office website has had a revamp and everything on crime reduction prior to 7th May has been archived. If someone else has more luck than me in tracking it down, maybe you could let me know!
