In response to feedback from participants in her previous trainings, instructor Ruth Pearlman has expanded this webinar to 2 parts. Even before COVID children were grieving losses that were not largely recognized or understood. COVID has magnified the grief experience of children on multiple levels. A child's response to loss is dependent on many factors including age, emotional development, relationship, and social supports. Ms. Pearlman will explore children's concepts of death and non-death losses applying Piaget's Cognitive Theory to understand how children conceptualize loss at each stage of development. Day 1 will focus on lecture with ample opportunity to ask questions and interact with the instructor and other participants. Day 2 will focus on the application of the content provided on the first day. Participation in both webinars is required for attendees to earn CECs. In this webinar, we will:Identify a spectrum of non-death losses in childhood Review Piaget's Cognitive Theory and apply it to children's understanding of loss Examine the role of magical thinking in children's developmental understanding of loss Identify modern grief terminology Specifically examine the loss and grief trajectory in the lives of children in foster/alternative care.
