I am committed to helping children learn how to fully communicate big feelings and how to respond to them in a healthy and productive way. Giving feelings words and helpful ways to communicate can play a vital role in aiding children in getting the support that they need. Most often, adults believe the myth that a child is ‘too young’, can’t experience grief or loss or ‘won’t remember’ disturbing, traumatic, or painful events when in fact this could not be furthest from the truth. In fact, anything that affects older adolescence and adults in a family can also affect children, preschoolers and toddlers. Grief and trauma can seriously disrupt important aspects of child development such as bonding with parents, managing emotions and social skills. Providing supports to help the family rebuild a safe, secure and nurturing home will help your child have a healthier recovery.
