I have had the privilege of knowing Debbie Green for many years and can attest to her exceptional work as both a teacher and a Christian leader. Debbie's passion for nurturing children's wellbeing shines through her writing. The A-Z of Wellbeing books are thought-provoking, engaging, and perfectly tailored for children while providing invaluable resources for teachers and church leaders. With practical activities, accessible biblical stories, and a focus on mental health, these books offer an excellent toolkit to support children's emotional and spiritual growth. Debbie's creative illustrations and thoughtful approach make this series both inspiring and impactful. We live in a fast-paced, ever-changing world where there are so many demands on children and young people that it is vital that we, as educators, give them the skills to be able to support their own wellbeing - finding a space to simply 'be'. This toolkit, linked to the wonderful A-Z of Wellbeing for Children, is the perfect way of reflecting on the five ways to wellbeing rooted in a Christian context. It contains lots of easy to follow and practical ways of engaging children in thinking about how to make a positive difference in their lives. The Bible-based, whole-school ideas can be used without needing lots of additional resources and can easily be adapted for class or smaller group activities. A child who has been supported and had access to these resources will be in an excellent place to support their own wellbeing when life gets tough and that little bit of extra help is needed. The toolkit is a treasure trove of ideas, reflections, activities and wonderful child-friendly images - enjoy! Wellbeing is such an important topic in children's work at the moment, including in supporting children with additional needs. We are seeing increasing numbers of children struggling with their mental health and wellbeing and so an invaluable book like A-Z of Wellbeing for Children, along with the accompanying resource pack, is just what is needed to help anyone working with and supporting them. Packed with accessible, creative, and easy to use yet relevant ideas, A-Z of Wellbeing for Children and the A-Z of Wellbeing Toolkit are perfect for engaging children and their adults in this essential topic. I will be using it in my own work!
