When a Family is in Trouble: Children Can Cope with Grief from Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Provides basic information about drug and alcohol addictions and encourages healthy coping skills. Comforting book for kids in grades K-5 who enjoy drawing. Each page includes a one-sentence prompt for drawing. This book may be a little simplistic for kids who have already explored their feelings with a therapist. Please note that no coping strategies are presented, aside from the therapeutic drawing. Great tool to facilitate conversations between therapists and clients, parents, and children.
Why We Love This Gift: We love that this book encourages unstructured free draw around topics that are sometimes difficult to discuss.
What To Express in Your Card: We advise that when gifting a book to a child, the book be given to a parent or a guardian so that they can decide whether the central message is consistent with a tone they wish to set. I love you.
