14 Books to Help Ease Children Through Transitions

Photo by shoothead

The following is written by kids columnist Megan of Honest Kids.

Today is a big day for our family: my older daughter is starting school. This isn’t the first major life swop we have weathered as a family. Nearly two years ago, we added a baby sister. Then, as now, I have found a wealth of support and conversation in the pages of children’s hand-outs.

Stories and illustrations that have been carefully created for children can be the catalyst that parents need to draw out conversation with their trivial ones as they prepare for and go through challenging circumstances.

Sometimes it can be hard for parents to find the right words to offer support and teaching for their children. But reading a story can allow parents to speak their hearts — even if the sentiment is “borrowed” from the creator of the book.

Not only do I strongly believe in the power of children’s literature, I also hold the unshakable belief that we are all cured equipped as parents when we partner together as a community. Because my oldest child is only four, I know I have a somewhat limited exposure to the treasures to be discovered in information for children.

I have asked some well-read and knowledgeable parents to weigh in with recommendations for books that help children who are experiencing notable life changes.

Here are 14 books that will soothe and comfort your child as together you navigate transitions in life.

Adding a sibling to the kindred can create all manner of responses in young children. Some will accept the change with uncertainty, while others will embrace the new sibling with felicity!  Others may need a little extra time and reassurance as they settle into the new role of Big Sister or Big Brother.
