Time for questions will be provided. \nFeatured Topics\nIn this webinar\, professionals will: \n\n\n\nlearn the five most important things parents should know about digital citizenship\,\nlearn how\, when\, why\, and who to host a digital parenting event with\, and\nlearn how to be proactive with parents\, not reactive.\n\n\n\nRegistration\nThis webinar is best suited for K-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Behavior of Grieving Children
DESCRIPTION:Join the Highmark Caring Place on January 13 for their webinar “The Curious Observer: Understanding the Behavior of Grieving Children” to learn how behaviors can serve as a manifestation of children’s grief. \nAbout\nWe often misunderstand grief in children\, or mistakenly believe that children do not experience grief at all. Yet\, anyone old enough to love is old enough to grieve. Because young children and infants experience and respond to grief in unique ways\, their grief is not always clear to adults and caregivers. Children’s grief can even be masked for adults because children communicate via their behaviors\, such as play. \nSince it can be difficult for children to verbally express their complicated and confusing feelings about the death of their loved one\, especially during times of grief and loss\, it’s important that we understand behaviors such as play as ways of communication. This webinar will discuss how behaviors can serve as a manifestation of children’s grief. As a caring adult\, you will learn activities and interactions that can support the children in your life through their grief work. \nFeatured Topics\nDuring the webinar\, participants will: \n\n\n\nlearn how behavior (such as play) is a form of communication for children from birth into adulthood\,\n\n\n\n\nrecognize how behaviors can serve as an expression of a child’s grief\, and\n\n\n\n\nidentify activities and interactions that support children in their grief work.\n\n\n\nRegistration\nTo register for this event\, visit the online registration page. \nShare this flyer with your network.
