From an adult’s perspective, children respond to grief in puzzling and odd ways. This workshop explores how developmental levels, adult support, and culture impact how children respond to loss. We will also discuss ways we can help children to successfully process their emotions and minimize the negative impact of the loss on functioning and learning.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand how children understand loss
- Discuss the variables that impact how a child perceives death: developmental level, adult support, cultural interpretation
- Identify strategies and methods to support discussion of loss that are supportive, non-shaming, and developmentally appropriate
