Overview
Children take advice far more readily from a character than from an instruction. Charley Marley and Maximus Jack meet setbacks, get things wrong and keep going — and each story is followed by games and creative activities that make the lesson stick.
It works as a read-together book at home and as a source of short, purposeful activities between other commitments.
Who it is for
Families with primary-aged children who respond better to stories and play than to being told how to cope.
What's inside
What your child will take away
Bouncing back after a mistake or a disappointment
Trying again when the first attempt fails
Talking about difficult feelings
Confidence built through small successes
