Posted on by
Pupils from Swavesey Primary School and Swavesey Village College have put together a performance of the poem ‘Why I am Rude’, written by Sarah Dillon National Association for Therapeutic Parents
This poem aims to help adults and children to understand the ‘why’ behind behaviours which may be seen or described as rude, when actually, it is often a defence mechanism. There may be trauma, attachment or adverse childhood events which have impacted on the child’s view of themselves and those around them. These children are not rude, they are communicating their pain.
