This week we have been focusing on the issue of having difficult conversations with bereaved, or soon to be bereaved, children and young people, highlighting the importance of being able to talk openly with them about their worries and feelings. To help reinforce the importance of talking about difficult issues with younger children we recommend the book ‘There’s NO Such Thing as a Dragon’ by Jack Kent.
On the surface this is a deceptively simple story, that can be enjoyed by children of any age, about a dragon that just wants to be noticed. In the story, Billy Bixbee wakes up one morning to find a kitten-sized dragon in his room. When he goes to tell his mother she states in no uncertain terms “There is no such thing as a dragon!”. Billy then tried to ignore the dragon which gets bigger and bigger. By the end of the book, when his mother starts to acknowledge the dragon, it gradually shrinks back to
it’s normal size. The book does a great job in showing what can happen when other people refuse to acknowledge or validate difficult thought and feelings - the simple act of acknowledgement can shrink them to a manageable size. This fun and accessible story, with lovely illustrations, provides an
important lesson that speaking about your worries can make them smaller and more manageable, even if they don’t go away. ... See MoreSee Less

Following announcements yesterday by the Prime Minister, and in line with current Public Health concern at the rising number of confirmed Covid-19 cases, we will be suspending all home visits and face to face services to families from Thursday 24th September.

We will regularly review our clinical service in line with government and public health advice to ensure what we can offer is safe. We will continue to offer phone and email support to families and professionals, as well as our online training packages for schools.

Information about how to access support for a bereaved child or young person can be found on the SeeSaw website under Getting Help: www.seesaw.org.uk ... See MoreSee Less
