How do I best react when my child's beloved hamster dies or when their cherished teddy bear goes missing? When children grieve, they need support and reassurance. Stephanie Witt-Loers provides a guide for parents, grandparents, and important caregivers to help children navigate loss situations in the best possible way. Grief is also a part of everyday life for children. Children grieve, but they do so differently and perceive different things as loss compared to adults. The book does not focus on the death of a loved one but rather on all those situations of farewell and separation that can be distressing for children up to about 12 years old. Stephanie Witt-Loers offers an overview of child development phases and the possible reactions and individual coping strategies of children. The book also includes practical tips.
