Children Hurt Too❤️‍🩹

Comfort and Care for Children Facing Life’s Tough Changes

Children may not always have the words to express their feelings, but their hearts feel the weight of life's toughest transitions—whether it's a parent leaving home due to divorce, the illness of a loved one, or the loss of a close friendship. 

The "Children Hurt Too" box is designed to provide comfort, understanding, and emotional support for kids navigating these difficult changes, helping them to feel seen, heard, and reassured.

This thoughtfully curated box contains:

• Age-Appropriate Gifts and Sensory Toys: These calming items are specifically chosen to help children relax and soothe anxiety. Sensory toys offer a fun way to engage their hands and minds, giving them an outlet for stress and emotions they might not yet know how to articulate.

• Positive Child Affirmations: Positive affirmations designed to boost self-esteem and remind children that they are loved, valued, and not alone—especially during times of uncertainty and change.

• A Short, Uplifting Book: Children can choose from one of three heartwarming, relatable books to help them understand and process what they’re going through. Options include:

  • “Dad Still Loves Us” – For children struggling with a parent no longer living at home, this story reassures them of their parent’s continued love, even through separation.

  • “Change Is Going to Come” – This book helps children understand that change, though hard, can also bring growth and new beginnings.

  • “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” – An encouraging, lighthearted read that helps children learn to find happiness even during uncertain times (for anxiety).

  • Feeling Like a Superstar- This uplifting book is designed to encourage children who may be struggling with self-esteem issues, helping them rediscover their inner confidence and shine brightly even during tough times. Through engaging stories and positive messages, "Feeling Like a Superstar" reminds children of their unique strengths and abilities, building up their self-esteem and encouraging them to embrace their best selves. It’s a heartwarming read that inspires resilience, positivity, and self-love, helping children to remember who they are and feel like the superstars they truly are.

• A Journal for Self-Expression: This journal gives children a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to write or draw whatever is on their minds. It’s an outlet for processing big emotions in their own way.

• A Soft Stuffed Animal: Sometimes, what a child needs most is a comforting hug. This plush companion offers a sense of security, providing emotional comfort when they need it the most.

• Small Gift card

The "Children Hurt Too" box is designed to help children feel comforted, reassured, and supported as they navigate the challenges of separation, loss, or change. It’s not just a box of gifts—it’s a way to help children process their emotions, build resilience, and feel loved, no matter what they’re going through.
