Helping Children Through Change & Uncertainty
Course overview

Inside this course

Children do not experience change the way adults do. A house move that feels like an upgrade to a parent can feel like the disappearance of an entire world to a seven-year-old — the tree they climbed, the bedroom wall they measured their height against, the walk to the corner shop with a grandparent. A friendship ending, a parent's job loss, a grandparent's death, a dog that does not come home from the vet, the low hum of frightening news on the radio in the school run — none of these are dramatic enough to warrant a crisis meeting, and all of them ask something real of a developing nervous system that has very little practice absorbing loss and uncertainty.
