Grief is something we don't want to have to talk about with young children, but saying the right thing can make a difference in how children process a sad event. Dorothy talks with Judy Haus and Rachel Turtledove about handling grief with young children, both as parents and as educators. They discuss why it's important to NOT say that someone has "passed away" or "We lost him," and how parents serve as the model for this challenging emotion.For more resources, check out these websites:http://www.thesharingplace.org/images/concepts_of_death.pdfhttps://shop.artwithheart.org/draw-it-out-p5.aspxhttp://artwithheart.org/about/media/https://www.dougy.org/ Some books that were mentioned were:Invisible String by Patrice KarstLifetimes: The beautiful way to explain death to Children by Bryan Mellonie and Robert IngpenBadger's Parting Gifts by Susan VarleyWhen Dinosaurs Die by Laurie Krasny BrownIf Nathan Were Here by Mary BahrThe Goodbye Book by Todd ParrThe Tenth Good Thing About Barney by Judith Viorst
