Children who have experienced the loss of a parent face serious challenges in trusting adults and interacting with peers. This can significantly complicate their adaptation to school and hinder their learning process.
Misha is afraid to let his mom go to school, always worrying that she won’t come back. Masha struggles to connect with her classmates; when someone tries to befriend her, she reacts with aggression and bites, as if to protect herself. These examples illustrate how children who are grieving may respond to those around them, making it difficult for them to focus on their studies.
Group activities for younger school children can help create a safe environment where under the guidance of an experienced specialist, these children can learn to trust new adults and build relationships with their peers. In a playful manner, children will confront stressful situations, helping them respond confidently in real life.
Let’s work together to help children accelerate their adaptation to school life and achieve success in their studies!
