This set comprises an activity book and facilitator guide aimed at building bravery and resilience for children aged 7 - 12 who are staying away from home.

Inspired by research and the author's extensive experience, the set contains valuable strategies and engaging activities that will boost the child's wellbeing and self-esteem. Top tips, example responses and the theory behind the activities will equip teachers, parents/guardians, school counsellors and therapists to best support trip goers as they prepare for their upcoming trip. The set includes:

My Residential School Trip Activity Book which is jam packed full of practical activities that invite the reader to use their creativity by annotating and illustrating the pages. Alongside practical considerations, the children will explore feelings, notice where these are felt in their body and compile a 'toolbox' of effective coping skills to embrace challenge.

My Residential School Trip Facilitator's Guide which offers guidance notes and prompts to help the facilitator bring out the best experience for the child using My Residential School Trip Activity Book. It includes key points to consider, examples of what to say, and explains the theory behind the activities as well as offering practical extension ideas.

My Residential School Trip is an invaluable resource to help children build bravery for the best time. It will allow teachers to effectively support their young people, and guide parents, for an enjoyable experience for all involved. It is essential reading for practitioners and teachers hosting residentials and can also be used by parents at home.
