Tip 6: Make use of reading books to match the theme

The phone rings, bad news what you hear. Mother is dead, Job's grandmother. Job is just 6 years old. He was crazy about his grandma. How are you going to tell this little guy? In mind, a whole scenario goes through your head of the texts that can all tell you about Grandma's death. You knew it was coming, just not exactly when.

When Job comes home from school, you ask if Job comes to sit with you on the couch, because you have to tell him something. Job does what he is asked and looks at you with a penetrating eyes. With a sigh and tears in your eyes, you tell Grandma is dead. It seems like the words don't come in at Job, he walks out for a game of football.
Amazed and with tears in the eyes, you look after him. You know that this is part of the age phase, no matter how difficult it is and so leave Job. Despite the fact that you have a lot of trouble with it yourself. You are wondering if the news has arrived at Job or not?
At this age, it is indeed very normal for children to resume their game quite smoothly after hearing a message that someone is dead. It can sometimes go so fast that kids don't even cry. Just suddenly during the game, they can still erupt into heavy crying pours and then pick up their game a few seconds later as if nothing is going on. It's very difficult for parents and educators to see.
At this stage, it can help to talk to the child about what has happened through reading books. Choose reading books that match the situation that is playing. For example, if someone died as a result of illness, look for a reading book that corresponds to it. If someone just died, look for a reading book that connects to it.
