Introduction

Suitable reading age: 7 ~ 12 years old

Something will make you shout out loud: "How can this be happening ?!"

A little girl with an oversized patent leather bag,

Walked through the park, soaring everywhere.

Does anyone have a way to comfort her?

Why did she lose her temper for no reason?

How to help children face the loss of death? For children, death is something that is difficult for them to understand and accept, and the death of pets is often the first time that children face this issue. This picture book provides parents with The best way for kids to discuss.

The little girl in the story lost her beloved bird Ivis, and her heart was filled with perplexity and anger. Until the friends asked what happened, she had the opportunity to tell the story of the bird s death, and Started crying. Friends helped Ives organize a funeral, and accompanied the little girl to regret, miss, cry, hug each other, and imagined that the bird would meet another "Ives" in the sky and couldn't help smiling When I got up, I learned how beautiful life is.

This book clearly teaches us the key points in helping children face death in very simple words. First, give the child a chance to describe the incident that surprised him and sad. Speaking your feelings through language can help your child face and accept this fact more truthfully. Second, people around you must support and accept his emotions. In order to comfort their children, many parents often say things that are not helpful to the children who are experiencing loss, such as: "Don't cry, be a strong and brave child!" This type of comfort not only suppresses the emotions of the child, but also Could not give him the opportunity to learn how to deal with his emotions. I would even encourage parents to tell their emotions to children who are less likely to express their emotions, such as: "You must feel sad? Would you like to cry? Even mothers would like to cry!" Encourage children to contact And expressing emotions is very important for the physical and mental health of the child. Third, a farewell ceremony is held. Such a ceremony can allow children to express their nostalgia and gratitude to the deceased, have the opportunity to formally say goodbye to the deceased, and learn the valuable life from it. Finally, when comforting your child, don't be too embarrassed to give him a hug or physical comfort.

Listen and accompany with a tolerant heart, so that children can experience and face ups and downs in a state of love and security, which is probably the best gift that parents can give their children!

Extraordinary! This is one of the very few "mourning letters" that can succeed, and finally let readers express their emotions at once.

Children also need to learn how to deal with "lost", a book that can help children through the pain and soothe their hearts.
