Young children experience grief in ways that can be quite different from adults. Their understanding of death evolves as they grow, often displaying confusion, curiosity, and occasional regressions in behavior. They might not grasp the permanence of loss and may express grief through play, asking repetitive questions, or exhibiting changes in behavior such as clinginess or withdrawal. Creating a safe space for them to express emotions, using age-appropriate language, and offering consistent support are crucial in helping them navigate through their grief.
The Sad Panda Collection was designed to help adults guide young children through grief.
These interactive children's books were written to help little ones navigate grief well.
Although each book is valuable on its own, to offer comfort and healthy direction, it is suggested that each child have their own copy of Sad Panda and each Bereavement Buddy have their own copy of the Companion Guide.
