Treasure trove. That is an adequate description of the resources to be found at the home of Free Spirit publishing. With 30 years’ experience, Free Spirit provides children and teens, and the adults who care about them, with tools to think for themselves, rise above challenges and make a difference. The materials are practical, positive, and pro-kid, with a focus on creative solutions. If you need some guidance on tough topics like teen depression, kids and anxiety or how to best work with particular learning disabilities, then plan a visit to www.freespirit.com and see if there’s a free webinar to get you started. I particularly enjoyed their jar of “Cyber Dilemmas – challenge for teens”. I used it with my resident teen and it opened up some great conversations about negotiating the net and how to use it proactively. You can borrow that particular jar from the Roscoe Library, see the elibrary catalogue - https://www.stfran.qld.edu.au/
