Great question. I'm sorry your son...Hi Singer,<br /><br />Great question. I'm sorry your son is struggling with this right now. It's not an easy thing for kids. As someone who attended nine schools by ninth grade, I totally "get it"! Clinically, we need to allow kids to face this head on...that is, not be afraid to talk about the "real deal", the thing that is causing the pain. In this case, the move. It is natural and normal as a parent to want to protect your son from anything that reminds him of the move, but I can guarantee you, he's already thinking about it. Being allowed the time to acknowledge that and process his feelings around it will likely be more helpful in the long run. I'd go with the "Moving Story" workbook. It does have pages for before the move, but also for after. Even though you've already moved, the "before" part will give him a chance to look back and think about all that was important to him in his old locale. Good luck!<br /><br />Let us know how it goes!<br /><br />Wendy =)Kidlutions(tm): Solutions for Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639051845440120108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584256347412644963.post-17094561664479738952015-02-20T00:01:50.767-05:002015-02-20T00:01:50.767-05:00We moved neighborhoods three months ago, and our s...We moved neighborhoods three months ago, and our seven-year-old is dealing with intense feelings of sadness and anger over missing his neighborhood friends. I am not sure if this sadness workbook or the moving workbook would be more beneficial since we have already moved. I wonder if the moving/relocating would bring more sadness or help give him some resolution. Can you help?singerbabe82https://www.blogger.com/profile/02845278555481370159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584256347412644963.post-14426638993274090822014-04-25T20:13:51.660-04:002014-04-25T20:13:51.660-04:00Hi Colleen,
Thanks for your interest in Kidlution...Hi Colleen,<br /><br />Thanks for your interest in Kidlutions. This workbook is geared for 3-8 yr olds, but could be used with a 10 yr old, depending upon the child. Some 10 year olds might think this is for "babies", while others will benefit. This workbook contains info for parents of 3 things NOT to do with sad kids and 5 ways to help. That can make the whole workbook worth it in some regards. If I knew more about your child, I might be able to better answer. <br /><br />For a 10 year, I would recommend "The Way the Cookie Crumbles: Helping Kids Deal with Disappointment." It can help older kids deal with disappointment or sadness. It is more in-depth, has more than double the pages, is more advanced and gives more "older kid" strategies. You can find that workbook here: http://kidlutions.blogspot.com/2013/09/helping-kids-deal-with-disappointment.html <br /><br />I hope that helps!<br /><br />Wendy =)<br />Kidlutions(tm): Solutions for Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639051845440120108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584256347412644963.post-69822404486131500142014-04-25T19:14:11.834-04:002014-04-25T19:14:11.834-04:00What age level is this booklet geared towards?
