Webinar: Helping Children Cope With Grief (Apr. 10th)
Most children experience the death of a family member or friend by the time they complete high school, and one in 20 children face the death of a parent or guardian by age 16. In response to death, children have feelings of grief similar to those of an adult, but they understand loss differently as their minds have not matured and they express these feelings differently because they have not yet learned coping skills. Though every child is unique and may react to a death of a loved one, a schoolmate, a teacher or even a family pet in their own way, there are generalities on a child’s reaction that can be based on their age. This workshop will explore how children of different ages respond to loss and how parents or caretakers can best respond to a child’s grief.
Target Audience: Parents or anyone helping a child cope with grief.
