Summary
"This unique young person's book has been developed by a very experienced NZ counsellor who needed resources to help explain the concepts of personal and private to young clients with a developmental or learning disability of some kind... John Hibbs has worked extensively with young people, including those with disability, to assist them to understand their sexuality and appropriate behaviour. He is very aware of the serious difficulties that can happen when these young people don't understand the concepts and behave in ways that gets them in trouble, or that harms and distresses others. He has extensively trialled this book himself and found it an invaluable tool in his professional tool kit. For this reason, he has now made it available to others to use as they support children and young people through these issues. This illustrated, colourful book, with its easy to read sentences and explanations, now helps young people to learn about personal and private boundaries and how to respect them. And the large illustrations are very engaging for those for whom reading is hard. A valuable new tool for counsellors, psychologists, therapists and teachers seeking to reinforce appropriate behaviour relating to what's personal and private. Highly recommended." - SKYLIGHT WEBSITE
