 Louise Bomber – Attachment Support Teacher Therapist.

Authors: Fi and Gail Newood and Foreword by Louise Bombèr

Description: ‘Why Can’t I Do That?’ is a children’s book that explores the reasons why so many children feel very different to their peers. The story follows a boy called Ben through his day at school and evening at home with his foster family. Using the switches metaphor (© Belong 2013) it gives a blame-free explanation of why he struggles to do the things his friends do and how his key adult can support him with this.

Suitable for: children with complex issues, developmental delay, attachment difficulties, trauma and abuse backgrounds, emotional and behavioural problems, learning difficulties and other disabilities. Also helps other children to understand differences in their peers.
