BYU study shows grief groups help children deal with death Children need to be nurtured when someone in their immediate family dies, although they might not seem to need extra help, according to recent research at Brigham Young University. Tf theyre not crying, some people assume they dont need help, said Michael J. Lambert, clinical psychology professor from BYU, who supervised the experiment. Children have difficulty articulating their emotions and frequently have surprising ways of viewing things. It is also important to help children deal with losses because otherwise they will have a higher risk for developing adjustment problems as adults. People recognize more and more that these early experig ences can have a effect, he said. Early losses seem to make people a bit vulnerable to problems dealing with losses later in life. Children who have an unresolved childhood loss are at higher risk for depression, psychopathology and adjustment problems. The study showed that grief groups can help children deal with the trauma of losing a sibling or parent. Parents and guardians can do their part by encouraging the child to talk about their feelings and listening to the child. If the child cant talk about their feelings, show support for the child in other ways. The BYU study specifically showed the effectiveness ofgrief groups in helping children deal with the traumatic loss of a parent or sibling. The children, ages were monitored for eight weeks prior to the experiment, during which none showed be7-1- 1, havior improvements. Each child was rated by four people herself or himself, a therapist, a school teacher and a parent. Groups are helpful because children realize they are not the only ones feeling something. It also helps children know what they are feeling when someone else puts it into words. long-lastin- CVfHt I till' usi n l .. lililiii It : t l Kane County Narcotics "Hotline": 644-818- 8 a |
