Tears Are Not Forever

Young children learn that everybody cries, how crying can help them, and ways they can cope with challenging feelings. “You cry when you’re sad or mad. Crying gets the hurt out.” Tears Are Not Forever reassures children that everybody cries and gives them space to cry and experience their “down” feelings. Sadness and disappointment are common, recurring emotions that children can learn to understand, handle, and grow from. With vivid illustrations and straightforward suggestions, Tears Are Not Forever provides practical advice for coping with these challenging feelings. “Remember, tears are not forever. In a little while, you'll feel better.” A section for adults reinforces the book’s message that crying is a natural, normal response to strong feelings and includes tips and activities to help children express and handle their feelings.
