Some children come to what happened in their own time. Some ask right away, some circle back months later, and some never quite put it into a question. This workbook gives you words ready for whichever way it goes in your family.
Thirteen pieces in four parts. Five activities to do together, where a child names what they feel, tells the story in their own words, and works out what home means now. Four scripts for conversations that tend to be hard to start, covering the move itself, money, missing the old place, and worry about getting sick again. Each script gives you the actual sentence for ages three to six, seven to twelve, and teens, along with what not to say. Then guidance by age from toddlers through eighteen, with what to watch for, when calling in a professional would help, and the signs in the teen years that need attention right away. It closes with a promise a family writes and signs together.
Use what fits your child and leave the rest. Give yourself grace as you go, and know there's no right pace for any of this.
Educational only, and not a substitute for a licensed child therapist, counselor, or pediatrician.
The companion Parent's Guide holds the thinking behind everything here. It's a separate free download.
