Sometimes I'm Sad: Talking to Children about Tragedy

  • Rebecca T.
  • Thursday, July 19, 2018

Collection

Books are one of the best ways to open the door on a topic, to start a discussion with your children about tough issues. Reading a story about the death of a loved one, a family pet, or even a leaf in autumn, can help young children begin to understand that sad events and tragedy are sometimes a part of life. Books are also a meaningful way to connect with your child as you start conversations about difficult news stories or tragic events.  We've listed some of the best books here for you and your family to share.
