Description
Helping Children Locked in Rage Or Hate & How Hattie Hated Kindness is a practical guidebook that uses a beautifully-illustrated storybook to help children aged 4-12 understand and manage their unresolved feelings. This guidebook is designed to support teachers, parents, and professionals in helping children who struggle with anger and aggression. The story of Hattie, a young girl who lives alone on an island, illustrates the impact of unresolved feelings on behaviour. Despite efforts to bring kindness and connection, Hattie's behaviour becomes increasingly negative, leading her to feel isolated and alone. However, with the help of the ocean, Hattie comes to understand that her hard exterior was a coping mechanism for deep-seated pain and fear. This guidebook provides a valuable resource for helping children who struggle with anger, aggression, and difficulty forming relationships. By understanding the root causes of their behaviour, children can begin to heal and develop healthier ways of managing their emotions.
