Author Shares Hannah's Two Homes: Life in a "blended" family - a 5 year old's perspective  Online PR News � 02-July-2018 � My undergraduate and graduate studies in teaching, social work, and psychology made me acutely aware of the importance of self-esteem in a childs healthy development. Feeling valuable, and trusting themselves, helps create these positive feelings. One way a parent, or teacher, can enhance this process is by reading books with meaningful story lines which spark sincere discussion about the childs feelings. When these feelings are acknowledged in a non-judgmental manner: it helps the child trust themselves to handle sometimes painful feelings of anger and sadness within their unique family structure. When you strengthen their abilities to combat fear of isolation and loneliness; it enables them to enjoy their world, and feel secure in their abilities to find happiness and ultimate success in reaching their lifes goals. - Melodie Tegay (Author of Hannahs Two Homes) In her book, Hannahs Two Homes, author Melodie Tegay tackles these issues through the eyes of a child. Meet 5-year-old Hannah, who is getting used to living in two residences; while simultaneously trying to fit into the dynamics of newly reformulated family structures involving step-parents, half-brothers, and half-sisters. Hannah uses her own words to share her thoughts and traces her progress through various emotions while remaining positive and upbeat. Ms. Tegay pens her characters with a light-hearted hand, and colorful illustrations. By using simple sentence structure, and easy-to-read vocabulary; she creates an opportunity for children, from pre-K through second grade, to better cope with this fragile, and sometimes anxiety filled issue.
