Drawing on many months of immersive observation of Cassie and Owen, two young people living in a specialist residential school, author Beverley Samways reveals the emotional depth and intelligence often overlooked in 'behaviour', showing that when we truly listen - beyond speech - we can discover rich inner worlds and the profound human need for connection. Eschewing formal academic approaches, she instead uses ethnography and narrative non-fiction to offer a tender, beautifully written journey into Cassie and Owen's emotional, sensory and relational worlds.  Exploring how feelings can pass between people non-verbally, shaping behaviour and relationships, and how adults must hold and process these emotions carefully for a young person to feel safe, she challenges the systems intended to support these individuals, and reimagines what it means to listen to those who so often go unheard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAVILION PUBLISHING \u0026 MEDIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47904743751732,"sku":"9781803885063","price":64.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781803885063.jpg?v=1781567215","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9781803885063","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
