On Those Runaway Days

When children feel overwhelmed, angry or unsafe at home or in school, they may see running away as a solution to their worries instead of what it really is – a dangerous way to avoid working out a problem. Written by an expert in child safety, this book provides kids with an important set of coping strategies to use on those ‘runaway days’. Strategies include deep breathing, listening to gut instincts, seeking out and talking to trusted adults and remembering they are loved – all of which will help them handle high-stress situations throughout life. Ideal for children, parents, foster parents, teachers and counsellors. Black and white illustrations. For ages 8–12.
