Exploring emotional literacy issues.

 

Having completed 17 years as a primary school teacher, Ian long was working full time enabling the so very useful `Blob Tree products` at one time with late BHP former frontier youth worker Pip Wilson. Don`t know how this is developing but got a email saying Ian Longs latest challenge was visually translate the Bible verse by verse without words.  Non linear images for the tabloid gospel workers still active out there in rural communities and the inner cities.

The Blob Tree and thousands of similar products are used around the world to help people express their feelings. Well resourced product's for exploring emotional literacy issues. More especially with None book people.

Meanwhile in the UK.

It’s the textbook grooming model: gifts, compliments, making their victims feel special and wanted. It’s that much easier to coerce a child into “accepting” their abuse when one creates a power imbalance or a sense of social currency. That the price you pay for being groomed is rape, abuse, and exploitation. That you deserve it.
That you asked for it.
That you brought it on yourself. Child sexual exploitation is a tale as old as time. But it isn’t a thing of the past. It is still happening in towns and cities across the UK. Little girls are being subjected to the worst abuse imaginable, at the hands of men who know they can get away with it.
