Are you looking for healing activities and the language to use to explain them? Bundled together, KID TALK and OUR STORY give you over 100 creative activities and games, including the memory book, lesson plans, supplementary materials, and additional resources. Used in public schools and hospice settings over 20 years, the curriculum was recently expanded to be faith-based for use in a church setting with the goal of helping a child know God better and trust Him more. The format and content are proven successful. With KID TALK and OUR STORY, you can create interactive sessions with confidence that you are using time-tested exercises that work for the setting and profile of your child or children. Directions explain each activity with kid-friendly words. You will be able to help a child (or children) better understand and process his or her grief, diminish fear of grief itself, and normalize the grieving process. You will have multiple ways for the child to express his or her love for the decedent: memorialize. The pages in Our Story can inspire family conversations and doing griefwork together. The memory book can be a healing tool for the child to return to when his or her grief recycles in adolescence. Two books for the price of one.
