Successfully with the Help of Kids’ Skills
Ben Furman M.D.
A new book from the author of the international bestseller
Kids’ Skills: Playful and practical solution-finding with children
Kids’ Skills is an innovative way of helping children aged three and up to overcome emotional and behavioural problems. This book brings the method alive. It illustrates, with stories from several countries around the world, how Kids’ Skills can be used in a variety of settings to solve a wide range of problems typical for children.
The book opens with a section that tells you briefly what Kids’ Skills is and explains its background and history.
The second section details the fifteen steps of the process and illustrates them with a case example.
The third section, which forms the core of the book, consists of case descriptions told by therapists and other professionals from different countries illustrating the use of Kids’ Skills with three to fourteen year old children to overcome common child problems such as fears, depression, wetting, hyperactivity and aggressive behaviour.
The fourth section is a compilation of accounts of applying the method collectively with groups of children, with school classes and in one of case with the entire school.
The book is an eye-opener to all those who work with or care for children. It demonstrates that, if approached in a respectful and cooperative manner, children are not only willing but also astonishingly capable of solving their own problems.
