Anne-Catherine De Boel helps children deal with loss in Alba
Anne-Catherine De Boel helps children deal with loss in her book Alba. The opening line sets the tone, ‘Alba is five years old. She is sitting on a stone in the front of the house and she is waiting’. Alba then journey’s through the Forest, Lake and plains to find the special person she is waiting for. Loss is a difficult subject for everyone more especially children, Alba helps to break the ice by starting the conversation and helping children see that things will be okay if they look at things with positive eyes. Here is an article on dealing with loss for children:
At some point your child will be faced with a loss or death and they will need help understanding what happened, why it happened and their feelings about it. How much they understand, how it affects them, and how you talk about it depends greatly on their age and level of emotional development. While a school age child (usually after age 7-9) may understand that death is permanent, a younger child may not understand that death is not reversible. Also, younger, preschool age children are egocentric and have ‘magical thinking,’ and may believe that they caused the death because they were mad or had bad thoughts about the person who died.
