USING THE BOOK
UNTWIST is a strength based resource designed to support a connection and relationship with a young people.
The images, text and interactive elements used in the book have been carefully chosen to enhance opportunities for conversation, identify positive aspects of the young persons life, build on their ability to regulate their emotions and realise personal goals.
The book is designed to be personalised, so let the child write, colour and draw all over the book and make it theirs.
Before you begin:
Wait for the right time. Make sure they are relaxed; not hungry, thirsty or overtired.
Know the book and its images (ie, read it first!).
Be emotionally available and present, but don’t press them to talk.
