"This children's storybook tells the story of Ruby, Rafa and Riz as each child has an experience that affects them -- unkind friendship, the death of a pet, a bullying family member and coercive peers. Their teacher who knows nothing of these events, notices the behaviour of each child which leads to him asking how they are feeling and what they are thinking, enabling each child to talk about their emotions and so helping the adult to understand their behaviour. In a clever and enjoyable way, the stories of Ruby, Rafa, and Riz lead children through scenarios that introduce ideas keys to developing children's understanding and security such as: the knowledge that behaviour is a response to feelings and thoughts, the understanding that these feelings and thoughts are a response to the external world; insight into how thoughts and feelings are hidden unless shared, and the empowerment to share their emotional context with trusted adults, explaining how their behaviour - both to others and to themselves. When used alongside the practical guidebook, this unique and engaging story enables all those working directly with children to support their development, allowing children to become strong enough and secure enough to meet the challenges of life and learning"-- Provided by publisher.
