The Child Who Was Afraid of Santa Claus
For most children a visit to Santa Claus is a fun and eagerly anticipated annual event, but for some it is a dreaded annual ordeal!

The Child Who Was Afraid of Santa Claus tells the story of what Violet, the mischievous purple fairy, sees as she observes children in the queue to meet and greet Santa Claus at Porkley's famous toy store.

The Child Who Was Afraid of Santa Claus is the sixth story in Understanding Children Series 1, a research-based, accessibly-written series of stories for adults to read with children, or for children to read themselves. The stories
•give the reader a better understanding of children’s common fears and anxieties,
•model good ways of relating, listening and speaking to children,
•provide practical ideas about how (and how not!) to communicate with children, especially about their fears and anxieties.
The stories deal with fears and anxieties about a range of subjects including monsters, dogs, conflict, body image and Santa Claus. The communication strategies in the stories, however, are relevant to any topic or issue.
