Download As PDF : WHISPERS IN MY EAR eBook JILL KNOWLES 
'Whispers in My Ear' is a collection of true stories about children's lives as told to Jill, their counsellor and contains vivid accounts of their traumas and tragedies. Trying to live within step-families, losing loved ones through death and divorce, self-harming, enduring bullying, coping with diabilities and falling out with their friends, these moving, real life accounts are told in the children's own voices.
Jill's severe hearing loss caused by meningitis brings unexpected joy when miniature poodle Lola joins her as her hearing dog. Lola's progress is detailed as she blossoms into an amazing therapy dog. The uplifting stories about her inter-action with distressed children illustrate the unique bond between children and pets, as well as the bond between a deaf person and her animal helper.
Delivered in a jargon-free style, the book reveals the sometimes surprising techniques Jill has used to successfully help young people aged five to eighteen over the years. They will inspire everyone who wants to help children face life's difficulties, including parents and those who work with children professionally.
'Whispers in My Ear' is sad, funny, distressing, uplifting, compelling, thought provoking and riveting. The stories of the children take the reader on a roller-coaster of emotions, just like those experienced by the youngsters themselves.
WHISPERS IN MY EAR eBook JILL KNOWLES
I really enjoyed this book, it is such an eye-opener about the problems youngsters go through today as told to their counsellor (the author Jill Knowles). Some of the stories made me really gulp, especially the story of the blind girl Carole and her sad, tragic life and others made me feel angry when I read how some children have to cope with so much so young. I would recommend this book to parents of children of all ages, as the stories cover both primary and secondary school aged children. It would also appeal to people who work with children - as it gives lots of insight into what is going on behind 'bad behaviour' as well as plenty of tips and ideas of how to help young people cope. Although I felt emotional, it wasn't heavy going at all and parts of the children's stories actually made me laugh out loud, due to the way the author has captured the actual language used and way of speaking! Altogether a very different and entertaining read.Product details
