Description
Playing this game with my daughter, I was amazed at how much discussion it generated between us. They were easy to use, and the use of pictures and symbols mean they are user friendly to parents with literacy difficulties or for whom English is not their first language. Not only do they give the opportunity to open up discussion and explore feelings, they also give the practicitioner an understanding of what parents understanding of their child's needs are, in order to facilitate client-generated changes to behaviour. Sessions of 40 minutes to two hours are recommended, and the benefits easily justify the initial time spent. This is a good value tool to support preventative and supportive public health work.
