Tip 11: Make sure that daily life continues as much as possible for the child anyway
Paul, aged eight, hasn't been in the mood for a few weeks since his father died. It's that he has to go back to school, but beyond. Fortunately, from his mother, he only has to do what he feels like and that is nothing else. No playing with friends, no playing football, no swimming lessons, nothing more. Paul already turns down birthday parties regularly, he doesn't feel the need to have fun, he says. All he would want is peace and quiet.
At school, Paul also has the necessary problems, appears. Paul has been having a hard time concentrating lately. The teacher notices that Paul is not at the lessons, and therefore requests a conversation with mother to discuss how things are actually going at home. Mother says that she does not find this conversation necessary, because it is going really well. She has absolutely no desire to discuss how and what.
After some insistence, mother finally gives in for a conversation. In the conversation, it soon turns out that mother does not know how to deal with her feelings and emotions after the death of her husband. She reflects this to her son Paul. Both seem to have lost their desire to do things as a result.
If advice is given to try to keep daily life going as much as possible, no matter how difficult. Picking up playing football again if possible, continuing swimming lessons, and so on. It therefore discusses which small steps can be taken to slowly resume life and interweave the loss into the steps that are being made.
