[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I would have her make a little book about it with you, to put it to rest. Let her draw pictures of what happened, and you write the words. Include some words about how this kind of thing happens in groups sometimes, and include a page of her drawing herself feeling good and playing with her current friends. Say in the book that she handled it well, and it’s in the past, and if it ever happened again, she is much bigger and more capable now, and will know what to do. Let her get it all out, every detail, and try to hear her completely, and guide her towards resolution. Then, wrap a bow around it and put it on a high shelf and say that it’s over now, and there is no need to think about it any longer. Then, I would look into how to practice mindfulness and gratitude with her. Her school guidance counselor can give you some resources. You want to frame her thinking into positivity. [/quote] This is a really great idea, thank you PP. I was also thinking about mindfulness activities for her. Her charter is, ahem, unlikely to have much in the way of resources, but I'll google and see if there are any Outschool classes that may fit. She's been liking those lately. Thanks again.[/quote]
