BOOK REVIEW: Kiwi's Intrepid Journey by Anna Dalzell

10/6/2016

11 Comments

 
Kiwi's Intrepid Journey is a story that has been written to help primary school aged children deal with anxiety, loneliness, courage and confidence. It incorporates ideas such as mindfulness, perspectives, strengths, self-awareness, thoughts and feelings.  

The author, Anna Dalzell, has many years working with children.  She has gained qualifications as an NLP Master Practitioner, NLP Coach, Ericksonian Hypnotherapist and Time Line Therapist™. She is a practising member of the New Zealand Association of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and holds a Diploma of Teaching, Certificate in Cognitive Enrichment Counselling and is currently studying a Diploma in Child and Adolescent Psychology.

This is a tender story that lends itself well to being read aloud and I'm sure it would be a much requested story in any home or classroom.  The illustrations are simply beautiful and were done by artist Jane McIntosh and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot ore of her work in children's books.

We were so pleased to be invited to run workshops at the recent Refugee and Migrant Services Under 5's and Parent Expo.  We ran 4 45 minute workshops to parents from many different ethnicities.  It was a wonderful experience and one that we learnt so much from.  In each workshop there were several interpreters supporting the participants, and us.  We spoke about anxiety and behaviour in under 5s and shared some simply tips, techniques and ideas for supporting little ones.  It was really useful for us to be able to share our own experiences of parenting and our memories of being parenting from around the world.
