Résumé :

Help kids understand that it's okay to cry, and show them what to do with big feelings

Crying is a natural, healthy part of emotional life, especially for children. Tears Are Not Forever helps kids understand that, whether they come from sadness, frustration, anger, or joy, tears have a job to do. In kid-friendly language, this reassuring book explains how our bodies make tears to let strong feelings out and show others that we might need help. It also offers simple strategies kids can use to feel better, like taking quiet time, asking for a hug, or getting some fresh air.

Tears Are Not Forever is part of the award-winning Best Behavior(R) series. The book creates space for children to feel seen, supported, and safe expressing their emotions.

• Normalizes crying as a healthy response to a wide range of emotions
• Teaches simple coping tools like breathing, talking to a loved one, and practicing gratitude
• Encourages emotional awareness, self-compassion, and positive behavioral choices
• Uses bright, inclusive illustrations to show kids in everyday situations readers can recognize
• Expands on the themes in the board book with the same title

Tears Are Not Forever can be used by parents, caregivers, educators, and counselors to help children build emotional resilience in the early years. It also includes helpful resources to support adults in teaching self-soothing skills, encouraging open conversations about emotions, and reinforcing the message that it's okay to cry. Great for children who read the board book edition and need an expanded reminder when behaviors resurface.
