My Job, Your Job: What Children Need to Know

Author(s) : Stuart Harper

Paperback, 40 pages.

Item #456262

This workbook grew out of working with children whose life experiences left them confused about their roles and respopnsibilities within the caregiver/child relationship. Children who experience limitless parenting, abuse, or neglect may believe that caregivers are not capable of providing for their primary needs of nurturing, safety, and stability. In response, a child may assume these caregiver resposibilities for themselves in order to thrive. The child may then become “parentified.”

This workbook is inteded to define and reinforce appropriate caregiver and child roles and responsibilities – for caregivers to be care givers and for children to be children. Each scenario allows the caregiver and the child to express their responsibility through drawing. Discussing and sharing examples about each responsiblity is encouraged.
