Put on Your Rainboots: Including and Supporting Children Through Serious Illness, Death, Dying, and Grief
When children and teens face illness or challenging times, their emotions can shift rapidly moving from joy to sadness, anger to calm, and everything in between. Much like jumping through puddles, they may leap from one emotional state to another in a matter of moments. In this session, we’ll explore the importance of meeting them where they are—joining them in their emotional “puddles”—to better understand their needs and provide meaningful, responsive support. Together, we’ll reflect on how to stay present, flexible, and compassionate as we walk alongside them through their journey.
