KiddyCharts Launches Free Resources to Support Children Coping with Loss
In response to the growing need for resources to help children navigate the complex emotions associated with loss and grief, KiddyCharts, a leading provider of educational and fun activities for children, has launched a set of resources to help. This includes grief worksheets, five top tips for support, and a free eBook.
“Helping children cope with loss is vital,” says Helen Neale, founder of KiddyCharts and a counsellor. “We need to create a safe space for open communication, where children can express their feelings freely, knowing that their feelings are valid.”
