When Something Terrible Happens: Children Can Learn to Cope with Grief

The book arrived quickly and though used, was in good shape and not written in.

I’m a counselor and use this often. I even recommended it recently as a resource for parents to use to help kids process feelings they may not be ready to discuss verbally. Awesome little workbook!

The author did a great job of creating an environment for kids to process trauma. It is specific enough that not only therapists but also any caring adult can use it with a child. Yet it is vague enough to fit various traumas faced by kids. If you are a therapist who sees children, this book is a great addition to your toolkit. If you are a parent or caregiver, this book will facilitate discussion with your child.

I have been using Marge Heegard's books for children a long time. I have found them effective and helpful while working with children as a counselor. They give children the opportunity to work through difficult life situations by providing education and emotional outlet in a format that allows them to use both art and language. I like the positive note it ends on, counting your blessings!

I used this book at a previous job, and loved it. And I'm really excited to own a copy for my office. This is great to use with children through various traumatic events.

Great illustrations

Really great suppport text/guide for clients and promoting discussions with younger ones.

This book is very appropriate for sharing my knowledge with my students which I should begin shortly. I therefore plan to use this book when I do so. Book was received in a timely fashion and in good condition.

This like the rest of the range of books by Marge Heegard is great. It has a great variety of ideas for children and adults to work through the difficult time of grieving. By following the activites in the book it empowers children to cope at their own pace and understanding.It encourages children to explore their feelings- negative and postive ones- in a safe secure way through drawings , colouring and writing. Their are numerous activites in the book and its adaptable in that it can be followed as a book or pages used seperately and appeals to a wide age group.The veratility of the book in not only the way it is organised but it can be used multifuctionally by people wanting to assist kids with griefing or for encouraging families to work through their grief together. I think it is especailly good if parents can work through it with their children as together they can both share in their grief, learn and bond in a difficult time ( instead of what sometimes happens that they become distanced from each other ).I just wish their were more simple books like this to help people to work through their own grief needs. Excellent book that I recommend highily.

The content is like a scrap book, well it is an activity book. The quality was poorer that I expected. The content is well thought out in regards to helping children. It arrive in good condition.

Excellent book
