Helping Children Heal After Difficult Experiences
Course overview

Inside this course

Some of the hardest moments in family life are the ones no parenting book quite prepares you for: a grandparent's death, a diagnosis, a car crash witnessed from the back seat, a parent's departure from the family home, a child dreading school because of another child's cruelty. These experiences are different from everyday stress. They ask something more of a parent than reassurance alone can give, and they raise questions that feel impossible to get exactly right — how much to explain, whether to bring something up again, what to do when a child seems fine one day and shattered the next.
