One study found that childhood grief is correlated with low grades, sleep problems, moodiness, behavior problems, and an inability to concentrate. When a loved one dies, children are faced with a kaleidoscope of feelings, thoughts, myths, and questions. This workbook offers tools that you can use to help a grieving child in your life deal with these feelings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first section of \u003cstrong\u003eWhy Did You Die?\u003c\/strong\u003e is for adults. It describes a child's grief process and what can be expected as it progresses. The latter section includes activities you can do with a grieving child. Using an art therapy approach, the activities guide the child through the issues he or she must eventually confront. Different activities help the child express difficult feelings, separate myths from facts, and understand the finality of death. This direct yet non-threatening, secular approach will help children learn, grow, and thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Instant Help Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781572246041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Erika Leeuwenburgh, Ellen Goldring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917271109813,"sku":"9781572246041","price":20.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cb16f972-251a-480d-9a4e-f31d181d5889.jpg?v=1687281177","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/why-did-you-die-activities-to-help-children-cope-with-grief-loss-9781572246041","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
