Maddie's New Normal

In a world of uncertainty where people are getting sick, some are dying and our routines are not routine anymore, life today is a mess.

Children, they say, adapt pretty easy to “messes” or changes. But we need to remember that they need us as adults to be straight with them, to explain to them the mess.

Tammy Parker, her wisdom as a mother and school psychologist, shines through as she brings not only a good explanation (that maybe some adults need to hear and absorb) but gives some comfort that children will be glad to get.

Parker uses a conversation style that is at an easy to comprehend level, and the illustrations offer color and a sense of calmness and regular in the irregular times we live.

Sometimes, all a child needs to be able understand what is going on, is for some time - and to be talked with, not told, and for someone to chat with them. They have a lot of questions, and now with the virus impacting a lot of lives, it has to be scary. Parker uses her experience to help kids.
