In this weeks episode of The Playful Psychologist, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jayneen Sanders, who is the author of SO many of the gorgeous books on my IG feed including her brand new series for kids aged 2-6, Little Big Chats. It was truly fascinating to hear about the inspiration behind Jayneen's books and I hope her story inspires you guys,
In this interview, Jayneen answers the following questions:
- I genuinely love your storylines and have used them so often in my therapy sessions. Where do you draw inspiration for your books?
- Some of your books touch on some really complex topics such as family violence. How do you manage to adapt these complexities into language that young children can resonate with?
- I understand that you wear a lot of hats, a being an educator, author, and most importantly, a mum of three! How do these three roles help guide your writing?
- I saw on your website that a question you asked yourself was ‘what are we doing in schools to empower children and protect them from inappropriate touch?’ Can you tell us a little about your experiences and what lead you to ask these questions?
Jayneen's passion is all about 'protecting your child by educating yourself' and I just love the strong message each of her books has. To learn more about Jayneen's books, check out her website: https://shop.e2epublishing.info/ and follow her on instagram @jayneensandersauthor
