If you have attended a TBRI ® — or
Trust-Based Relational Intervention — training, you are familiar with
these phrases: re-do, asking or telling, accepting no, and compromise or
negotiate. Social worker Cindy R. Lee has written several children’s
books using these important concepts or life scripts as the main
storyline. As a therapist who works with kids who come from hard
places, I find these books extremely helpful in communicating some of
these important messages to young children. You can order the books on
Amazon. Here are some of the titles:
“The Redo Roo”
“Baby Owl Lost Her Whoo”
“The Penguin and the Fine Looking Fish”
“Doggie Doesn’t Know ‘No’!”
“It’s Tough to be Gentle; A Dragon’s Tale”
Each of the books provides a two-page explanation of the TBRI ® concept, technique or strategy that the story is about. They also provide teaching tips for parents and colorful illustrations for the kids!
