Items related to Going to the Dentist (Off We Go!)
Synopsis
This series of six books prepare children for a particular event, like going to the dentist or going shopping. The books explain 'what comes next' on an outing, and therefore help children to get through the task or situation more easily, and ultimately reduce stress for themselves and those around them. Each book is a simple, clear uncluttered analysis of a task: going to the dentist; going to the doctor; going to the hairdresser; going to the restaurant; going to the supermarket; going swimming. Each book has the same look and feel, and uses the same 'family' of characters, which promotes familiarity and learning. These books are particularly useful for pre-school children, children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and children with intellectual and learning difficulties (the books can be used as part of a child's Individual Education Plan to help them to experience new activities and to achieve developmental milestones).

Review
Routine and structure are really important for small children. Predictability always reduces anxiety and so the more children know about what to expect the easier they find things and usually the less tantrums they have. The Off We Go series of books provide a great, visual and easily understood, explanation of what to expect from a range of daily-life activities. These books will be helpful for any young child, not just those with special needs, to give them a better sense of what to expect and thereby reduce any anxiety. Because the books are designed to be read with your child it provides a good opportunity for warm interaction and could be a spark for lots of discussion we all need opportunities like these to build strong relationships with our children --David Coleman - Clinical Psychologist
These books, in my opinion are a must have for any parent who would like their children to feel secure and have a level of understanding as to what will happen next. They are great books and all kids will enjoy them. --Shine Ireland - The Autism Charity - A Parent's Review
Different teachers have come to me to say just how fantastic the books are. They say the pictures are clear and attractive and with just the right amount of detail. There is just the right amount of language, which is pitched just right for our kids --Marion Dunn teacher, Campsie View Special School Glasgow
