35 Ways to Help a Grieving Child (Guidebook Series)

Plot

35 Ways to Help a Grieving Child -- If you know a who has experienced the death of a mother, father, caregiver, sister, brother or friend, you may have wondered how you can help. The thousands of grieving children and teens at The Dougy Center have taught us a lot about what does & doesn't help them. We also hear from many caring parents, teachers & adult caregivers who want to support children who are grieving but aren't sure how to go about. In response to that concern, we've gathered together the most important stuff we've learned from kids, & the result is this guidebook. The information in these pages is simple & practical & is drawn from the stories of children and teenagers who have been on the front lines of grief. The guidebook addresses how to include children in decision making, what to expect from different ages of grieving children, & how to provide safe outlets for children to express emotion.
