When a Parent is Incarcerated
Children whose parent is incarcerated are impacted in a number of ways. This guide provides information on how adults can support a child in this situation.
When a Parent Loses a Limb or Loss of Ability
It can be very scary when a parent loses the ability to interact as they use to with a child due to loss of a limb. It can frighten children and is often hard for them to understand. Being prepared to help children adjust can alleviate stress and anxiety from the already sensitive situation.
When a Pet Dies
For many children, pet death is the first time they will experience grief and loss. Children’s reactions to the death of a pet will depend upon their age and developmental level. Guiding children through the loss of a beloved pet in a positive way will help them to handle grief in the future.
