When Sad, Scary Things Happen: Coping with Childhood Trauma
When Sad, Scary Things Happen: Coping with Childhood Trauma
"Ms. Arnold-McEwan offers her readers concise, compassionate examples of how children respond to and cope with traumatic overwhelm through beautifully rendered animal drawings offering the best of trauma knowledge we have today. Trauma is foremost a somatic experience that needs to be moved through a child's body before new thoughts and stories of surviving can take hold. Young ones see themselves on the page in Hedgehog's spiky words or Bear's pull to hide when hard things happen, to then find Wise Owl guidance for adaptive coping. Parents and professionals alike will reference this book again and again as they come alongside children the world over who have experienced the loss of safety at levels that go deep inside."
