Look for signs like withdrawal from friends, changes in sleep or eating habits, or difficulty concentrating. These can indicate they need support.

How can I approach the topic of grief with my child?

Start by creating a safe space for them to express their feelings. Use open-ended questions and listen actively to their concerns.

Are there specific resources or professionals you recommend?

Yes, consider reaching out to child psychologists, grief counselors, or support groups that specialize in childhood grief.

What if my child doesn't want to talk about their feelings?

That's common. Encourage them gently, but also respect their pace. Sometimes, engaging in activities they enjoy can help them open up.
