Much as we all wish there was a way to protect our young students from heartache caused by the death of loved ones - relatives, friends, animals … there is no getting away from it: Life happens, and sometimes Life is rough. There are times when we are called upon to evoke our most courageous instincts to find the words and actions that will provide the greatest comfort to the young ones in our care. What I’ve offered here are just a few ideas that, hopefully have started your own ‘wheels’ spinning in consideration of your own students. If you come away from this episode with a single impression, I hope it will be that talking about death is more necessary and potentially beneficial than not talking about it. Your classroom can be THE supportive, safe, gentle, trustworthy place where real and mutually respectful learning about inevitable challenges, like death, can be, as Mr. Rogers said … mentioned and managed when we are surrounded by love and trust.
