Product reviews for Independent Thinking on Loss

Independent Thinking on Loss blends a family's personal experience with their knowledge of how schools work, and reminds us that a grieving child and their needs - whether expressed or not - should be at the forefront of our minds. It also emphasises how simple, human responses combined with thoughtful school policies and practices make a world of difference to a whole family, well beyond the child's school years. Ian also explains how giving a child choices - and acknowledging their pain and listening to them - is impactful, proactive and meaningful, and leaves a lasting impression upon children of others' capacity for humanity and kindness.
