Why can't I be good?
£6.95
This short booklet for children is part of a series designed to teach children about a range of health conditions common to many looked after children.
Hanna really wanted to be good. Every morning she promised herself that she would be good all day. But somehow it never worked out that way. By the time she is seven Hanna is very badly behaved, but she wants to change. She is fed up with people telling her off and she wants to show her parents that she is glad they have adopted her. So Hanna makes a plan: she will try very hard to be good one day at a time in one way at a time.
This story about emotional and behavioural difficulties will be helpful for any child aged seven to 11 whose behaviour frequently gets them into trouble, or who knows someone who can’t be good. The book includes a question and answer section which covers a wide range of queries and concerns about behaviour problems, and provides practical information and advice in a straightforward and child-friendly style.

Reviews
There is lots of good repetition in the story as Hannah goes through her learning week, and there are little coloured pictures scattered throughout. A set of questions and answers will help discussions with children who have behaviour problems, and certainly the approach of trying to solve one problem at a time is a good one. If, like Hannah, a child wants to be better, to be loved and not to behave badly, her story will ring a bell.
