In this companion to her bestselling Kids are Worth It!, parenting
educator Barbara Coloroso shows how parents can help children find a way
through grief and sorrow during the difficult times of death, illness,
divorce, and other upheavals. She offers concrete, compassionate ideas
for supporting children as they navigate the emotional ups and downs
that accompany loss, assisting them in developing their own constructive
ways of responding to what life hands them.
At the heart of her approach is what she calls the T.A.0. of Family --
Time, Affection, and Optimism -- coupled with her deep understanding of
how people move through grief. Barbara Coloroso's clear answers to
difficult questions are enriched by uplifting humor and insightful
anecdotes from her own experiences as a Franciscan nun, mother of three,
and her thirty years as a parenting educator. With this Guide in hand,
parents can feel assured that they are responding with wisdom and love
when children need them most.
