A note from the author, Gillian Hesketh ...
Interested in the development, self esteem and well being of children and
young people, I have designed, written and created Happy Days Interactive Activity Pages for professionals and support workers to aid early intervention.
Developing better communication at the beginning of a young person’s problem [as they see it], may help support workers identify more specific needs at an earlier stage.
Based on research, case studies, running workshops for teaching and caring professionals, life experience and a huge amount of time, Interactive Activity Pages are dedicated to helping young people express personal difficulties, prompt and develop positive outcomes and encourage a sense of well-being.
Interactive Activity Pages can be used just to initiate a conversation. The quantity of writing or drawing isn’t important, unless a young person opts completely for this method of communication. The key is to help a young person consider thoughts and feelings so they can express themselves more clearly.
Student Support can make a huge difference to a young person. These resources are intended to assist you in your important role; understanding and guiding our young people. I truly hope that these resources can help to make a difference.
