Product Information

However, many parents and guardians can benefit enormously from learning child-sensitive techniques which help them reflect on their parenting.

A double page spread is dedicated to preparation and discussion of the funeral arrangements, whether the reader attended or not, to help them understand the purpose of such occassions and ceremonies. As well as resources, books, activities and information, we have also included a list of helplines offering support for adults as well. These examples from nature can help young children to begin to understand the difference between dead and alive people too, and help them slowly start to piece together understanding. Muddles, Puddles and Sunshine Activity Book helps children understand bereavement, grief and loss, by working through the book. Although babies and young children might not yet understand what death is or why it has happened we know that children are never too young to grieve.This is not a straightforward decision and is an individual choice for parents and carers – you know your children’s needs. What do we do when we are not able to comfort each other as usual, or even attend funerals to say goodbye? All group members will have been identified as having low emotional wellbeing, difficulties regulating emotions, low self-esteem, a lack in confidence, or difficulties making and maintaining friendships.
