This article discusses children's expression of loss, their understanding of death and loss according to Piaget's stages of cognitive development, and several ideas for creative inteventions, and guidelines for helping children cope with traumatic loss.
Intervention ideas include:
- What's your worry?: Illustrate your worry in line, shape, and color.
- Tranform your worry: What lines, shapes, and colors would make your worry feel better?
- Magic book: Imagine you have a magic book that knows all the answers.
- Safe box: Create a safe box for storing items, toys, photos, etc. that make you feel safe.
- Memory box: Create a memory box for storing items, clay figures, photos, etc. that evoke positive memories.
