The Good Thing About Bad Days cover

A warm and practical book to help children (aged 5-9) express their emotions - Includes space for journaling and doodling.

A warming practical book full of advice, suggested activities and encouraging messages to help young children (5-9 years) express and cope with their emotions, to reassure them about handling situations and to raise their self-esteem. With a repetitive mantra that: The good thing about bad days is-that they come to an end. Space is provided for children to draw or jot down their thoughts and responses. Scattered throughout are verses from Psalms and other books of the Bible, and quotations from other sources. There is a parent section providing additional advice by Dr Claire Parsons, a Christian GP, and a list of websites and contacts as resources and support for children and parents.

"We all experience dark days and children are not immune from this. Margaret McAllister doesn't shy away from these difficult topics, nor does she dwell on them too much. This book provides tangible, practical advice that will help children directly as well as parents, practitioners and friends. I commend this book to anyone who knows a young child." -- Ruth Jackson, Editor of Premier Youth and Children's Work.
