What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book does not contain significant sensitive topics like death, divorce, or major trauma. It touches on common childhood anxieties like being late, getting in trouble, or social awkwardness, but always with a humorous and lighthearted approach. The resolution is always a return to normalcy and the understanding that these moments are a part of life.
