Description

Grandpa Sloth Needs Help offers a gentle introduction to the experience of an older relative moving to a care home for young children.

This gentle, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to the experience of an older relative moving to a care setting. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children reflect on their own experiences.

Grandpa Sloth loves cooking and his garden, but as he gets older, he finds it hard to manage. Sloth is worried when Grandpa moves to a care home, but he soon finds that Grandpa can still enjoy all the things he used to - with some help!

The Experiences Matter series of picture books provide a gentle means of discussing experiences, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values. Suitable for children under 5.
