No one likes to think about death, let alone talk about it and who feels comfortable talking to children about death?!
Being blessed with life means that we also have to cope with others dying and manage the associated emotions of grief.
We already teach children about so many feelings - what happiness, sadness and anger are, how they make us feel and how to manage these emotions. Now it is time to ensure we do the same for grief.
If you work with children you need to be prepared to talk to them about life and death and support young people with their grief - grief related to death and any other form of grief.
BackPocketTeacher provides you with the confidence and skills to do this.
With BackPocketTeacher in your back pocket our bereaved and grieving children are in great hands.
