Synopsis

Watching the fireworks can be the highlight of the holiday season but for many children, it is a terrifying experience. It can cause family stress and reduce the enjoyment of making memories at special events.

Fireworks Freak-Out: How Eddy and Monica Chill-Out* tells the story of two children who struggle to cope with the noise and visual aspects of the fireworks. Woven through the story are strategies that help kids and parents turn an overwhelming event into a fun and memorable one. A summary page helps adults to understand how kids feel when they are overwhelmed and offers practical advice and strategies for a positive, stress-free experience.

Deb Hopper, Occupational Therapist and best-selling author, unpacks this story with the help of Eddy and Monica, who both struggle with sensory overload at the fireworks. Deb’s experience in this field has come in handy in her own family as they work on strategies that help to create fun memories at the fireworks each year. 

This is the first title in the So-Sense™ Series: Stories that Make so Much Sensory-Sense™.
