Helping Children to Manage Loss by Brenda Mallon

Helping Children to Manage Loss by Brenda Mallon

This book explores the territory of loss in childhood using the words of children who have found themselves bereft of hope. As well as covering the short and long term implications that arise when loss occurs, it provides positive approaches that enable children not only to cope but to grow through their experiences.

This book is written by a counsellor, intended to help teachers and parents helping distressed childrenShe has based her book on her considerable experience, having "listened to what children say they want adults to do" at times of loss. The themes of the book are well supported with research and brought to life by the words of children and their parents. The text is easily accessible as it is written in straightforward language. -- Pastoral Care, June 1999
