We all would like to have every day full of joy. However, sometimes things happen that may scare us and our children. We would like to share with you the guidance from psychologist Madalena Fontes on how to communicate with children following a traumatic event.

We’re sharing her safety guides for younger children, designed to help children understand what to do if something scares them at school.

These guides remind children that their feelings are normal, that they are never alone, and that speaking up is an act of courage. Created to be read with a trusted adult, they encourage children to ask for help, stay safe, and know that caring adults are always there to protect them.

Here you can find a guide for older children and a guide for adults and parents.
