Honoring Children's Grief Process Without A Timetable With Dr. Ajita Robinson
Episode 19
Wednesday, 25 August, 2021
Children don’t grieve in the same way that adults grieve. We need to honor children’s grief process and help them recover without time constraints. Althea T. Simpson’s guest in this episode is Dr. Ajita Robinson, grief and trauma expert and the author of The Gift Of Grief. Dr. Ajita discusses with Althea how children are more than likely to show their grief through demanding behaviors as they move in and out of their grief process. We need to consider the child's age, emotional maturity, the circumstances of the loss, and the connection with the child’s loss. Working through difficult feelings can become easier with time through support and open conversations. Join in the conversation to help children in your life move through the grief process with strength and grace.Love the show?
