The article written emphasizes the importance of addressing the needs of our children in times of grief. Noticing the right information to help a student after a loss of a loved one may help prevent tragedies. Not only after a loss do our students need help, but also during a stressful time in theri lives. According to the article, knowing the right signs like when ill appetites are diminished, weight is lost, concentration and short-term memory are diminished, and the bereaved person often becomes irritable and depressed. This eventually gives place to the third phase of grieving, disorganisation and despair and when it is noticed, there are stages to follow to allow room for our students to heal or cope with the negative things around them.
Reflection:
I noticed that my students are overwhelmed because of what happens around them. I noticed a few incidents when my students are not as cooperative and when I ask if there is anything wrong, they immediately open up and begin talking. Thea Bowman Leadership Academy often does the best it can to give such services to the students;however, budget cuts often limit or restrict many resources that can actually help reduce tension during difficult times that students experience.
