How to Help A Child

Help A Child




Children take death the hardest. If they are younger, they may not know how to properly express that something is wrong or that they are experiencing grief, so it is extremely important to keep the lines of communication open. If they are older, they may try and suppress their feelings. But much like adults, every child is different. It takes special care when helping a child deal with death, especially if it was someone close to them. Have a look through these resources below if you will have to help a child with any stage of the grieving process.
