In A Parent's Guide to Managing Grief, you'll learn everything you need to know about how children grieve and what you can do to support them during their most difficult moments. From there, you'll find 100 activities that you can use in a group setting, activities that you (or another caregiver) can do alone with your child, and ways to make the most of virtual interactions to support a grieving child.
