I have a deep belief that children do well if they can. As the adults in their lives, we can build on their lagging skills, celebrate their successes, and help guide them toward their preferred way of living. I believe that the foundation for healthy change and growth in a child’s life is through trusted relationships.
​
Children learn and express through play, and providing these mediums allows them more tools or ‘language’ to process and make meaning of their lived experiences.

Children experience grief differently than adults. At times they may seem devastated, and at others they may be playing happily. Allowing space and time to process the loss in a way that is meaningful to them promotes a healthy adjustment.
