Publisher's Synopsis
Many young people struggle with motivation and an inability to focus. They lack the skills to persevere, to concentrate and problem solve, which can lead to challenging behaviours. They may suffer from anxiety, lack self-esteem or confidence or may not have the language skills to understand tasks. These creative arts and drama activities address issues that lead to lack of focus, e.g. sensory distractions, memories, fears and anxieties and encourage an understanding of underlying feelings and giving these physical expression, before moving on to an exploration of interests and motivations. They help to explore the issues behind lack of focus and motivation and to create more organised, self-aware young people who are better equipped to deal with challenges.
