This volume is a guide for teaches who must deal with children who are experiencing grief and loss, illuminating the classroom issues that grieving may trigger. Educators will get the real-world tips, strategies, and insights they need to explain the major concepts of death in age-appropriate ways; respond constructively to children's common feelings and behaviors after a death; initiate and maintain positive, helpful communication; learn what to say and what not to say when a child or family is grieving; use simple commemorative activities at school to help students cope with their feelings; address children's responses to different causes of death, including suicide, illness, and violence; help a child who is "stuck" in a difficult phase of grief; provide ongoing assistance when triggers of grief renew a child's sense of loss; and notify and support students after a death that affects the whole school community.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 153-154) and index.
