Whenever bad things
happen, it is normal for parents to
want to protect their children. It even feels
counter-intuitive to want to ‘talk’
about it, especially when we see our
children hurting. Whether
the issue is a terrifying world event or
closer to home, a peer’s unexpected death, a possible betrayal of
an
adult or a peer, or
an
inevitable disappointment or personal shortfall, how do parents
help their children face these stressful
life events? How do you face it as a parent? How do you find language
to help your
child at any age make sense of it? What words should you avoid? How do you know if your child is struggling?
Join Maria Trozzi, a national expert in the area of children and family bereavement, an author
of Talking With Children About Loss, co-founder and former
director of the Good Grief Program at Boston Medical Center for
nearly thirty years.
Using an interactive format, she will
lead
parents to support their children as they face the inevitable
losses
of
growing up, find strategies
and words that help them
master coping skills, and share her twenty plus
years of experience and expertise that informs
prevention and promotes
resilience in our adolescents facing a complicated world.
