As a leading expert in restorative practice and conflict resolution for children and young people, Dr. Luke Roberts brings over 20 years of experience into his ground-breaking 5-step Social Stepping Stones.

For grown-ups to use as a ‘relationship first-aid kit’ to help children with their tricky moments.

Section 2 is for children aged 4-7 and uses an illustrated story to show how a young girl, Alex, deals with tricky moments with her friends, and then with her brother.

Testimonials

  • This could be really useful for children, parents and teachers etc alike. I'll definitely use it for my two and will recommend to others that they do the same. I love the process and can think of many adults who could use this in their own tricky moments too!

    - Mum of 2 children - Aged 9 and 11

  • I just dropped my daughter at school after a morning of lots of strong feelings 🤗 We read through the Magic Friendship Hat and did some of the steps options which helped a lot - Thank you for the tools in this book. I’m also learning to use them on a daily basis! ❤️

    - Mum of 2 children - Aged 6 and 10

  • A fabulously written, practical guide on how to help your children learn about and manage conflict resolution in a healthy way. I found this so helpful to read and implement with my 8-year-old. It’s a much-underrated skill and, having worked in mental health for the majority of my career, I believe this is something that all of us as a society need to learn and embrace. No more sweeping feelings under the rug!

    - Jennifer Low - Registered Dietitian

  • I enjoyed the three part process of the book (Making the most the 5 STEPS Journey Book; Magic Friendship Hat; 5 Steps Journey Book); It is accessible for all abilities (as far as possible) with its use of simplistic language; The illustrations assist in the understanding of the book; It does not appear to be culturally specific and the pictures represent a diverse range of races; The author and illustrator have made it personable by sharing experiences about themselves; Despite being aimed at primary aged children, it can be adapted to work with various ages and needs.

  • This is amazing. It made me feel I’ve been expressing my emotions and now I know what to do.
