What child or adult hasn’t had a really bad day - a day where one bad event seems to lead to another? This story connects to children in a way that is a bit more digestible and relatable. They pick up on the stress and anxiety we feel and are beginning to put together how we react to the negative events in our lives. Children are excellent readers of their world. While our children may not pick up on all of this, they are certainly not immune to it.
It has certainly put many of us in a bad mood to say the least. All of this has impacted our mental well being one way or another.
While I’m sure there have been good days sprinkled in there, it is hard to ignore the bushfires in Australia, racial tensions, police brutality, social unrest, the invasion of murder hornets, and of course, a global pandemic. “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” by Judith Viorst is a story so many of us can relate to given the circumstances we find ourselves in 2020.
