Children and Death
Children are affected by death differently than adults and as a consequence deal with the death and express their grief in a variety of ways, not necessarily in the same way as adults.
To help children cope with a death, parents, caregivers, teachers and other significant adults in their life need to understand how children think about death, losses and especially what has changed in the child's world following a death.
This video offers some helpful suggestions for helping a child cope with death.
