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?NH Psychologist and author Dawn Huebner will be discussing her book Something Bad Happened at Water Street Bookstore in Exeter, NH on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 6:30 pm.
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 non-specific term "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. -- Publisher's blurb
IMPORTANT NOTE: While this is a book for kids, this event is for ADULTS. Dr. Huebner will be speaking frankly and answering questions openly about tough topics, so it may not be appropriate for kids.
