SuitabookWhen I'm sad
Moira Butterfield
- Reading
- Try an activity or role-play together, then let your child lead the discussion. You can pause or adapt the conversation if the topic feels personal.
- Themes
- Understanding and expressing sadness: The book connects sadness with ordinary situations in a young child's life and suggests activities and discussion to channel the feeling. It takes an informational, activity-led approach to a common emotion; the specific advice and how it is framed are not detailed.
- Worth knowing
- Sadness is the central subject, and examples include a painful fall. Consider whether these situations suit your child’s current interests or sensitivities.
