As a child, were you called a crybaby?

A child taught to grieve alone becomes an adult who also grieves alone. To break the cycle of learned behavior, we have to learn new information.

If you want to learn how to support children in their grief, this episode walks you through what not to do and what to do instead. Most of us grew up without a healthy demonstration of how to grieve healthily. When we are faced with challenges as adults, we resort to what we know and what we've been taught.

When someone does something hurtful to you, is your knee-jerk reaction to blame that person for "making" you angry or sad? First, that's a lot of power to give the other person. And second, this is a learned behavior that is also what keeps us in a victim mindset well into adulthood.

Take twenty minutes out of your day today and learn a better way to support a grieving child you know or love.
