About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their curious child starts questioning or resisting essential safety rules. 'Should Henry Wear a Helmet?' directly addresses the 'why' behind common rules like wearing a helmet, using a seatbelt, and looking both ways before crossing the street. It validates a child's curiosity while clearly explaining the logical reasons for safety measures, framing them as tools for empowerment, not just restrictions. This practical, non-fiction guide is perfect for early elementary schoolers who are gaining independence and respond well to logical, cause-and-effect explanations, helping to turn potential power struggles into productive conversations about personal safety.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The topic of potential injury is inherent to a book about safety. The approach is direct, practical, and preventative, not frightening or graphic. It explains that a helmet protects your brain from injury in a fall, but it does not depict any injuries. The focus is entirely secular and empowers the child with knowledge to prevent harm. The resolution to each question is a feeling of competence and understanding.
