each other..

We use Persona dolls
to act out different
scenarios . The children
play an active part at
these times.

8. Christopher the Persona Doll
This is our
most
realistic
Persona
doll.

9. In the garden with Christopher.
Gradually children gather. We discover a
plaster on Christopher's Knee

10. The story develops.
The children offer
there ideas and
possible solutions.
In a non threatening way the
children have been able to
look at situations from
someone else's point of view
they have talked amongst
themselves and also with
staff and here they have
offered kindness and also
demonstrated empathy.

11. Peer Massage
This can be a very good tool to use at school. parents must
give permission.

12. Staff show the Children pictures of
the massage moves and
sometimes demonstrate the
moves on each other.
The Children then try
out the moves on each
other if they want to .
There is never any
pressure for to take
part.
