Do we have to use sock puppets in the intervention delivery?

Our sock puppets are intrinsic to the programme as a way of helping children to talk about, recognise and reflect on their feelings and experiences. They are used as a therapeutic distancing tool to help children feel safe to talk about feelings and experiences. We encourage each child to make their own with our carefully explained sock puppet kits and instruction cards that come with the programme and each theme. However, we do recognise that not all children may like puppets and might prefer not to use them. Or they might like to use other puppets for the same purpose. However, we hope you love our sock puppets as much as we do!
