When children learn about something big and bad - even when they hear only bits and pieces - their brains get busy trying to make sense of it. Where did it happen? Why did it happen? And especially, will it happen again? Something Bad Happened guides children ages 6 to 12 and the adults who care about them through tough conversations about national and international tragedies. The nonspecificterm "bad thing" is used throughout, keeping this a flexible tool, and so children are never inadvertently exposed to events their parents have chosen not to share. Fear, sadness and uncertainty about the "bad thing" all are normalized, and immediately usable coping tools provided. For children and parents to read together, this one-of-a-kind resource by child psychologist and best-selling author Dawn Huebner provides comfort, support and next steps for children learning about troubling world events. Market: Children aged 6 to 12, their parents and the professionals who work with them.
Industry Reviews
Something Bad Happened is an indispensable addition to every child's library, the perfect resource for parents to tackle tricky topics with their kids. In Something Bad Happened, Huebner gives young readers and their parents a gift beyond measure--the assurance that they are safe in a world that can feel scary and senseless.
