Something Bad Happened: A Kid's Guide to Coping With Events in the News

Summary of Book

When children learn about something bad that has happened - even when they hear only bits and pieces of it - their brains get busy trying to make sense of it.

"Something Bad Happened" guides children ages 6 to 12 and the adults who care about them through tough conversations about news of large-scale disasters, addressing questions such as: "Where did it happen?" "Why did it happen?" And, "Will it happen again?" Feelings such as sadness, fear and confusion are normalized, and coping tools provided.

For children and parents to read together, this helpful resource by child psychologist and best-selling author Dawn Huebner provides comfort, support and action plans for children learning about troubling world events.
