Kids grieve too – Guiding our children, our way – Aboriginal Parenting WA Guides (2012) [INFORMATION SHEET]

---

Sometimes adults can be so sad themselves when something bad happens they forget that their kids are suffering too. Kids grieve too and from an early age, but not in the same way that adults do. They feel the same loss and are likely to show their grief in different ways. They grieve in bursts, that is, they move in and out of grief.One day they will seem to be okay and another day they will show that they are not okay. They often have more needs at this ime, and can become more demanding. They are only trying to get comfort, care and support.
