[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was that kid, my mother died and I had to go back to school. the worst part was the teacher welcoming me back and the kids all making me cards. It sort of put a bigger label on me. "oh that is the kid" any counseling should be handled outside the class room, reach out to the surviving parent before the student comes back. The younger kids tend to be pretty tough about this, put on the harpy face etc. What made it better for me was getting back into the routine as quickly as possible and moving forward. the key is communication with the surviving parent. [/quote] Exactly this. My mother died when I was in first grade and the last thing I wanted was for anyone at school to discuss this in front of my peers. School became the place where I could get away and escape And try to feel normal around my friends for a bit [/quote]
