When Bad Things Happen
A Guide to Help Kids Cope
By Ted O’Neal
Truly bad things do happen. A child’s safe and happy world can shatter from the impact of a serious illness or accident, death or divorce, violence or natural disaster.
We cannot shelter children from all hurt and harm. But with this book, we can begin to calm their fears, ease their sadness, and help them heal. We can reassure them that they, like the little elves in these pages, will always be loved and cared for. We can teach them skills for coping with life’s biggest changes and challenges.
And we can restore their trust that life, after all, is good.
