For parents dealing with children's
health issues:
Empower your child to overcome adversity with the Sillwee Wobbert picture book series on children's health. Fun and appealing characters are set in a friendly multicultural environment.
What you can do to help children with
Asthma, Diabetes or Heart conditions:
Frequently, the biggest problem for children with health issues
isn't the problem itself. Their biggest concern is how they are
viewed by their peers. Being teased about their condition is a
pain they should not have to face. These books help children understand
and accept these children's health issues in themselves and others.
You can use these books to empower and become an advocate for
your children. These books use fun, multicultural characters to
teach children that health issues are OK.
Six specific things you can do:
- Share them with a Day Care center. These
stories are great for preschoolers and include companion coloring
books. Imagine a world where children come to school understanding
and accepting these issues.
- Start or join a Sillwee Wobbert support group
for your children in your area - like a play group.
- Present these books to your local PTA as
a fundraising item and encourage your teachers to use them in
their classroom.
- Refer this website to someone you know who would benefit from visiting here.
- Signup for the newsletter. We produce a
quarterly email newsletter with news and support information
that helps you understand and deal with these health issues.
- Give these books as a donation to a child
to empower them in understanding and accepting these health
conditions.
