Respectful Relationships (formerly Mates Traits) is due in October 2024

Every positive and successful human relationship needs respect at its core.

Respectful Relationship is the reinvention one of Innovative Resources' most beloved card sets, Mates Traits. Now with a fresh new look, this rejuvenated resource is perfect for encouraging children to learn about the foundations of healthy relationships. It features all your favourite animal friends; with some fun new characters joining the fray; all illustrated by Mat Jones.

With 11 brand new cards and another 10 with updated wording, Respectful Relationships will spark those important conversations about what makes great relationships tick, how we can model respectful relationships for our kids, and how diverse human relationships can be.

Perfect for having conversations with children about:

  • noticing strengths in themselves and others
  • friendship behaviours
  • feelings and body signals
  • social anxiety, peer pressure and bullying
  • being inclusive and valuing people’s differences

With its fresh and vibrant new colour palette, you are going to want to get these cards into your hands.

"As a tool for parents, Mates Traits can help to build conversations about safe friendships and the characteristics of a healthy family. For teachers and school counsellors, the cards are a fun way to develop cooperative learning environments and tackle problems such as bullying and self-harm. In a human services setting, Mates Traits covers a wide territory; from family and foster care situations to youth work and pastoral care. Kids will want to interact with these cards. Mat Jones’s illustrations are irresistibly vibrant and funny. Combined with simple, yet powerful, statements they form a resource that will remind children and ‘big kids’ alike about the value of true friendship."
