The effects of conflict and emergencies on children can be devastating, both physically and psychologically. They need special understanding and support to help them through the crisis and deal with the future.

Communicating with Children aims to help those working in conflict situations and emergencies to develop their listening and communication skills, in order to identify and help children with special needs.

Using case histories to illustrate the problems facing children, this manual suggests ways of resolving them. Practical exercises and details of how to run workshops allow readers to develop the ideas outlined.
