Class Description

Helping kids through death, divorce, immigration, changing schools and other major life changes. This is a 1.5 hour talk with practical advice, where we explore the stages of grieving and how these apply to all major life events. Ideal for parents whose children are going through any kind of transition. Learn about how change affects children at different developmental stages, how to manage big emotions, and how to keep yourself calm and sane when things are in flux. We will look at what stress is and how it changes how you think and feel, what you can do to prepare children for change, why the stages of grieving apply to all life changes, how to help children with emotional expression and coping skills, and then very specific pointers for the big life changes such as divorce, death, moving and school transitions. Change is a constant contender in life, and if we can help our children to manage changes, both big and small, then we set them up as resilient individuals who can face life with courage and fortitude!
