Restorative practices South Africa

We need to protect our children. This can be a valuable resource for parents and educators.

Our Jelly Beanz team was so grateful to receive feedback from a dad who had worked through the “Our bodies” book with his seven year old daughter. The little girl went to her extended family for the school holiday and was approached by an older boy who showed her his ge****ls and wanted to engage her in inappropriate sexual behaviour. She was quick to say to him: “The book says you are not allowed to do this!” and went home promptly to tell her family.

Hugs are an important part of feeling connected and loved. Our teenagers go through many different changes during teenage years and need hugs more than they are ready to admit.

How many hugs have you given your teen today?

Just what you have been waiting for. Our new book is now available. Order from Juta at https://juta.co.za/catalogue/restorative-school-discipline_25910/
