Reseña del libro "Dennis Lives With Grandma and Grandpa (en Inglés)"
This latest title in the popular Dennis Duckling series is designed to help very young children who live, or are going to live, with family or friends, to understand what has happened, why they can no longer live with their parents, and to express their feelings about this. In Dennis lives with Grandma and Grandpa, Dennis and his sister go to live with their grandparents, but the simple story is easily adaptable to children living in other kinship / connected person situations, for example, with an aunt, older sibling or close family friend. The story also explores how the decision is made, the ducklings' mixed feelings, and the issue of contact within kinship care, particularly around managing expectations and handling emotions. Dennis lives with Grandma and Grandpa will be particularly helpful for children who may be moving out of home or moving on from foster care. Reading the story together will create an opportunity to explore the child s wishes and feelings, and provide reassurance that they are not alone and that, although they may not be able to live with their parents, it is OK to live with other family or friends. The Dennis Duckling series explores a range of different placement options and can be used flexibly depending on an individual child s situation, level of understanding and care plan.
