Comments from the webinar:

  • This has been very helpful, thank you!
  • This is so lovely Ann  -allowing children to be creative and play with the characters to express their feelings - music to my ears! They are still children!
  • A really helpful webinar, thank you Ann and Andrea -lots of good ideas
  • Many thanks...… very helpful :-)
  • As a psychologist I have found that a lot of people feel that they cant talk to children about these things for fear of saying the wrong thing/ not being trained. And yet children are so appreciative of anyone who has just listened to them and empathised with them. I think this is such a key thing for these children and hope that this webinar will help anyone present who hasn't felt confident to do this to be able to do it in the future.Thank you, that was fantastic :)
