Sometimes we are approached by parents to talk to children about important events. On the death of loved ones, Pets, that a pet, for whatever reason you need to give out of the house, the divorce, moving to another school and so on.
My position in this case is this: tell the child is loved one, parent. Or substitute parent. It's his responsibility.
the Child needs to hear information from the native person. The child must know and feel:
You are ready to open;
- that You trust him and love him;
- are You ready to cope with the emotions of the child, because do not hide them from him;
- are there for him in difficult time for him and you have contact;
to mourn grief is important and necessary (it is important to understand the difference: to mourn, doesn't mean your emotions to hang on baby or to leave with him);
- just tell me yourself cry, then for the manifestation of the feelings of the child will not be punished.
"what, then, does the psychologist? - You will ask. -As always tells the client to take responsibility and washes his hands?"
So, dear parents, come to therapy not a request: "Tell me" and asking: "Help us to survive, to live".
