Thinking Outloud

At my kids school, they have an awesome program called the “Rainbows Program”.  What this program entails is that the guidance counselor from the school talks to children who have recently had a loss.  This could be the death of a loved one or divorce or separation.  They discuss with the children their feelings on the event and how they can deal with the situation and their feelings better.  Since both of my two younger kids just recently lost their grandmother, the teacher’s thought this would be an ideal program for each of the kids to participate in.  My daughter who is 9 really wants to participate in this, but my son who is 7 doesn’t want to be involved.  I have left it up to the kids and I most certainly won’t force my son to participate if he doesn’t want to.  I still think that it’s a great program for any child who has experienced a loss of any kind.
