When a family changes, through divorce, separation, or moving between homes, it can feel confusing, heavy, and even a little scary. The House That Changed Without Asking helps children ages 5-11 understand that some changes belong to adults, not kids, and that it's okay to have strong feelings about them.Through the gentle metaphor of a house that shifts its rooms and hallways without warning, children learn that their feelings are valid, they are not responsible for grown-up decisions, and they can find safe spaces and trusted adults to help carry the load.This story supports children in: Understanding and naming big feelingsRecognizing boundaries between adult problems and their own responsibilitiesAsking for help and identifying safe adultsFinding stability and comfort in a changing environmentWritten by a mental health professional, this book is ideal for: Families navigating separation or blended homesTherapists, school counselors, and social workersEducators seeking trauma-informed social-emotional learning toolsWith optional supplemental adult guidance included, The House That Changed Without Asking creates a safe space for children to explore feelings, understand change, and learn they can still be kids, even when the world around them shifts.
