How to Talk to Kids About Hard Grief Topics

Many times it can feel daunting to discuss difficult topics with children. We often think that it is best to shield them from distress by withholding information. This approach typically backfires, making the child more persistent in finding the answers they seek. This training will explore effective, age-appropriate ways of discussing topics such as death, the functions of the human body, and the importance of honesty with children who are grieving.

Takeways:

• Learn age-appropriate dialogue and conversation on various difficult topics.

• Explore formulating a comprehensive sharing strategy for families to promote successful communication.
