As a trauma therapist, I say ‼️1 million percent‼️Children do not have the language for or know how to process difficult things unless their trusted adults help them through it. #ChildrensBooks #kidlit and #PB s can provide invaluable resources for children & their adults (a 🧵)

Author+Therapist Reflection of the Day: Every part of the writing journey is vulnerable (putting pieces of our own story into our work, critiques, querying, subs, etc). But we won’t know what can be next in our “story” without shooting our shot at every step. I believe in you🫶

@writers_science As a professor who teaches about collective trauma, I highly recommend you do some research into the difference between equality and equity. You are promoting equality which is not actually a fair construct b/c those marginalized do not have equal resources and opportunity.
