When a Child You Love is Grieving

Acts of caring and compassion can make all the difference in a grieving child's life. Adults can often worry about saying and doing the right thing, and too often giving children quick answers instead of the support they really need. Widely recognized grief specialist, Harold Ivan Smith explains that quick answers are not what children need when they are grieving. They need support, and most of all they need to be allowed to grieve-for as long as it takes. With an ABC-like approach, Smith offers insights and activities for the parent, teacher, or friend-anyone who loves a child and wants to offer his or her support. This new and revised edition of When a Child You Love is Grieving will help insure that the child is receiving the healthy and necessary outlets during the loss of a loved one.
