Sommario/riassunto

A fun, friendly first step in helping prepare primary-aged children to testify in criminal cases involving abuse, this book has already been used by victim/witness professionals, child advocates, therapist, school counsellors, and even parents in hundreds of cases across the United States. It is an invaluable aid to the practitioner who must prepare a child giving testimony in court, helping the child be more comfortable about testifying and be a more effective witness.
