Even before COVID children were grieving losses that were not largely recognized or understood. COVID has magnified the grief experience of children on multiple levels.
This webinar will explore children’s concepts of death and non-death losses from a developmental perspective. We will apply Piaget’s Cognitive Theory to understand how
children conceptualize loss at each stage of development.
In this webinar, we will:
- review Piaget’s Cognitive Theory and apply it to children’s understanding of loss
- identify a spectrum of non-death losses in childhood
- examine the role of magical thinking in children’s developmental understanding of loss
- identify modern grief terminology
- specifically examine the loss and grief trajectory in the lives of children in foster/alternative care
