About this episode
If you have a child who struggles with sad stories…a child who gets really uncomfortable when bad things happen and wants you to stop reading (or wants to stop reading themselves)… then this episode is for you.
And actually, it’s for them, too! In fact, it’s an episode you might like to listen to with your kids.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What to do if your kids get upset while reading sad stories
- Why you can predict what terrible thing might be coming (and when in the story it’ll happen)
- What the author is doing and why
- How to help your kids hang on to the story, and get all the way through to the hope
