Saying goodbye: When someone dies
We created this booklet for children to address the issue of them saying goodbye to a loved one, when they are not able to take part in practices that they would ordinarily be invited to be involved in.
Saying goodbye can be done in lots of different ways, and although children and adults are understandably going to be feeling very sad, and perhaps also very angry, about the loss of rituals and changes in practices, we hope this resource provides some comfort and reassurance to you during this difficult time.
My hero is you: How kids can fight COVID-19
“My Hero is You” is a book written for children around the world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“My Hero is You” should be read by a parent, caregiver or teacher alongside a child or a small group of children. It is not encouraged for children to read this book independently without the support of a parent, caregiver or teacher. The supplementary guide called “Actions for Heroes” (to be published later) offers support for addressing topics related to COVID-19, helping children manage feelings and emotions, as well as supplementary activities for children to do based on the book.
