Supporting Young Children Experiencing Loss and Grief provides early years practitioners and Key Stage 1 teachers with practical advice to support children experiencing feelings related to change and loss.

Using key case studies and interviews with children and adults, this important text uncovers best-practice techniques to help children talk about their feelings. Covering more than bereavement, it considers the loss children feel when they move home, undergo a change in routine, experience their parents' or carers' separation, move settings or lose contact with a close friend, nursery practitioner or teacher.

Providing answers to the key question of how to support children who have feelings of loss and grief, Supporting Young Children Experiencing Loss and Grief is a must-read text for all those working with young children in caring environments who are looking to provide children with the tools they need to talk about their emotions.
