Understanding accusations of child witchcraft

Learning activity which has three aims: to introduce the topic of the abuse of children and issue of witchcraft accusations made against them; to identify and examine some supposed signs which lead to accusations; and to gain a better understanding of normal child development, and the effects of trauma. The end result is to see that the supposed signs which lead to accusations of witchcraft are in fact part of normal child development, particularly if the child has suffered from abuse or trauma.
