Waterstones Isle of Wight, a favourite place for me and my ‘copy & paste’
A great selection bought to add to the client space library and of course mini me, found a couple for herself, from the teen section….
📚 A book can be much more than a story….
For many children, books create a safe distance from difficult feelings or experiences.
Talking about a character can feel much easier than talking about themselves.
Through stories, children can explore emotions, worries, relationships, and challenges without feeling exposed or overwhelmed.
This gentle process of projection can help them make sense of their own inner world while feeling safe and in control.
Sometimes the conversation doesn’t start with “How are you feeling?”
It starts with…
“What do you think was happening for that character?” 📖💭
And that’s where the magic often begins. ✨
