Tiny Humans, Big Emotions: Building an Emotional Toolkit
Everyone experiences big emotions, including children. As caregivers, we can assist children in identifying their emotions, understanding them, and building healthy coping skills. The resources in this guide can be a great start to help a child build an emotional toolkit for dealing with even the most challenging circumstances.
Supporting Children Through Grief
Losing a loved one can be difficult at any age, but for children who have yet to fully understand the concepts of life and death, the impact of loss and complex feelings of grief can be overwhelming. On average, 1 in every 5 children will experience the death of someone they are close to prior to their 19th birthday, and grieving that loss will be a lifelong journey that follows kids into adulthood. While grief is a complex topic to discuss, professional insights into this unique journey can help caregivers facilitate healthy conversations related to loss and death.
Wish-Granting Experiences & Gifts
Wish-granting foundations help families lighten their load, granting wishes ranging from a trip to Disneyland to a new computer to a chance to throw the first pitch at a major league game. If your child has a serious illness, disability or medical condition they may be eligible to receive a gift or have a wish granted through one of the organizations listed in this resource guide.
