Theresa Fraser - Book Bites for Kids
November 8, 2009 by Victor Volkman.
| Children’s author Theresa Fraser talks about her new book, Billy had to Move: A Foster Care Story with host Suzanne Lieurence. |  |
| Child Protection Services have been involved with Billy and his mother for some time now. He has been happily settled in a kinship placement with his grandmother and enjoys his pet cat, interacting with neighbors and even taking piano lessons. As the story unfolds, Billy’s grandmother has unexpectedly passed away and so the story of Billy Had To Move begins.Unfortunately, Billy’s mother cannot be located. Mr. Murphy, Billy’s social worker, places him in the foster home of Amy, Tim, and their baby “Colly.” Billy experiences great loss resulting not only from his grandmother’s death, but also the loss of the life he knew. Billy’s inner journey therefore has also begun and with the help of Ms. Woods, a Play Therapist, there is hope.Therapists’ Acclaim for Billy Had To Move
“This gem of a book gently frames the stages of a child’s natural quest to make sense of his story. Fraser has created more than a teaching story: she generously offers a sacred space that compassionately holds and supports the multidimensional realities of our foster children and their birth families, our social workers and foster families, our teachers and child psychotherapists.” “Billy Had To Move is a profound story about the complex issues children in foster care often face. Fraser provides important lessons for caregivers. The book gracefully introduces the sandtray and provides insight into how powerful the experience “In this engaging, warm-hearted story, Billy grieving the loss of his grandmother, finds a way to heal by expressing his thoughts and feelings in Play Therapy. Highly recommended!” Learn More About This Book at www.TheresaFraser.com From the Growing With Love series at Loving Healing Press www.LovingHealing.com Juvenile Fiction : Family - Orphans & Foster Homes |

February 22, 2009 by Victor Volkman.
| On February 16th, 2009, Suzanne Lieurance of Book Bites for Kids interviewed child psychologist, play therapist, and mom Laurie Zelinger about her new book for caregivers entitled The O, MY in Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy: How to Prepare Your Child for Surgery. |  |
| Dr Zelinger was inspired to write her book, The “O, MY” in TonsillectOMY & AdenoidectOMY: How to Prepare Your Child for Surgery, a Parent’s Manual, by her actual experience with her son’s tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. She wrote it to help other parents and children benefit from her family’s experience.Dr. Zelinger’s concept of preparing a child for surgery is based upon the premise that information and preparation will reduce anxiety and help families to better manage the experience. She writes in simple language and provides scripts that parents can read to their children in order to explain the upcoming procedure. |  |

Children unfortunate enough to live in unsafe environments live through abuse, neglect, and threats to their well-being and even their life.
What if we could resolve childhood trauma fully, gently, and completely while the child is still young? We Can. Read Children and Traumatic Incident Reduction and find out how! |
