This week we have been focusing on the issue of having difficult conversations with bereaved, or soon to be bereaved, children and young people, highlighting the importance of being able to talk openly with them about their worries and feelings. To help reinforce the importance of talking about difficult issues with younger children we recommend the book ‘There’s NO Such Thing as a Dragon’ by Jack Kent.
On the surface this is a deceptively simple story, that can be enjoyed by children of any age, about a dragon that just wants to be noticed. In the story, Billy Bixbee wakes up one morning to find a kitten-sized dragon in his room. When he goes to tell his mother she states in no uncertain terms “There is no such thing as a dragon!”. Billy then tried to ignore the dragon which gets bigger and bigger. By the end of the book, when his mother starts to acknowledge the dragon, it gradually shrinks back to
it’s normal size. The book does a great job in showing what can happen when other people refuse to acknowledge or validate difficult thought and feelings - the simple act of acknowledgement can shrink them to a manageable size. This fun and accessible story, with lovely illustrations, provides an
important lesson that speaking about your worries can make them smaller and more manageable, even if they don’t go away. ... See MoreSee Less
