How to Help Children Through a Parent's Serious Illness

Resource Type

Video - Parent

Description

"In most hospitals there is neither a counselor nor a manual routinely at hand to tell parents what to expect from their children from the moment of diagnosis through the course of a parent's treatment. There is also no continuous guidance on how to address children's questions and fears, from the darkest puzzlings about separation, change, pain, and death, to the most mundane worries of "Who will tuck me in? or "How will I get to soccer practice?' There are no "right" answers to these questions, but there are answers nevertheless. Children will have reactions, healthy and unhealthy, that parents, teachers, and other caregivers can observe and deal with. There will be situations to handle and resolve." -Child Development Media, Inc.
