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. 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 nonspecific 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.
Key Features
