HELPING CHILDREN DEAL WITH LOSS
 

An Educational Study Group
 

 

For Adults to Help Children Deal with Death, Divorce, Pet Loss, Moving, and Other Losses

 

                        “My son’s dog just died, and he is very sad.  I don’t know what to

                        do to help him!”

 

                        “I have accepted a fabulous job in another town, and we are planning

                        to move.  My children are very upset.  What can I do to help them deal

                        with the emotions caused by the move?”

 

            “My daughter’s friends made fun of her on the playground.  She is

            devastated, and I don’t know how to help her.”

 

                        “My grandchildren’s father died, and I want to know how to help them.”

 

In this program, we will

·        examine the many myths about dealing with all the emotions that confuse children

·        replace those myths with practical guidance for your children

·        learn what to say and do and what NOT to say or do
