Children deal with grief and loss very differently from adults. At times they may not able to effectively communicate thier needs, feelings, and emotions; which may lead to aggressive behaviors, chronic depression, or trauma. Encourage your child to talk about traumatic experiences such as grief and loss, then aid them in getting through a difficult time. . *Disclaimer*: I would never make my children discuss for any platform their past if they didn't have the desire to do so. Ayden has always been vocal about fostercare and his feelings towards it as a former foster child and now adoptee. He prefers to talk about it and while he's a child we encourage our children to have a voice and speak up for themselves* . #growingthroughgrief #grief #griefandloss #adoption #fostercare #fostertoadopt #adjusting #trauma #depression #mentalhealth #lovewins #momofboys #sonday #transracialadoption
