Familiar Stories for Unfamiliar Moments

A story lets you introduce what is coming before it happens: the new room, the goodbye at the door, the baby who will be staying. Then, when the day arrives, something about it is already known.

  1. 1

    Choose the change your child is experiencing.

    A new sibling, a first classroom, a move, or a goodbye that keeps being hard.

  2. 2

    Personalize the story around your child.

    Their name, their age, and the things that comfort them most.

  3. 3

    Read together and talk about the adventure.

    A few gentle questions at the end keep the conversation open.

A Little Reassurance Goes a Long Way

Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling. Reading together can create a gentle opportunity to listen, connect, and talk about what comes next.

If your child’s anxiety is intense or persistent, a story can sit alongside professional support but never replace it. Your GP, health visitor or paediatrician can help you decide what else might help.

Every New Chapter Deserves a Little Magic.
