Excellent Resource!!!, October 5, 2008

This review is from: For the Grieving Child: An Activities Manual (Perfect Paperback)

It is difficult for any adult to grieve, much less to watch your child grieve. Dr. Jaffe explains the grieving process to adults so they may help their young children work through this complicated process. She accomplishes this in a way that allows even small children to ask questions and express feelings that may be confusing and unfamiliar to them. The activities are very simple, yet allow the small child an outlet to express himself in all these unfamiliar emotions. Dr Jaffe explains grieving in very simple terms so the adult who is guiding his/her child through this process of grieving can be of the greatest comfort and help to his/her child. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has experienced a loss in the family and has a child who is also struggling with this loss.

Great Resource in a Difficult Time, October 6, 2008

By Coach Bridget (Portland, Oregon) –

This review is from: For the Grieving Child: An Activities Manual (Perfect Paperback)

As a life coach, I’m always searching for materials which offer easily accessible information for my clients. This book definitely qualifies and I’ve used it several times when coaching parents who are struggling to help their children after a loved one dies. Dr. Jaffe gives a lucid explanation of the grieving process followed by age-appropriate activities for children geared toward helping them better understand and cope with what they are experiencing. I highly recommend this book for parents and, of course, coaches, teachers, and grief counselors.
