Hi all.I work as a Registered Childminder and care for a 4 year old boy, David.In the past few weeks he has suffered the death of 2 people very close to him-Matthew was 22 and died of cancer and Mattehews gran died 5 weeks later.These people were so close to David that they were like family and he is really struggling to deal with it-I think any adult would struggle so I can't imagine what is going through Davids mind.He hasn't spoken to me about either death but seems to have a lot of anger inside him.Both his parents and myself have told him that its ok to talk about it etc but don't feel we are getting very far!
I'd really like to get him a book that deals with this type of thing-he's only 4 and not at school yet, but is a bright little boy.I've looked at Goodbye Mog which deals with the death of a cat but I'd like something that deals with the death of a person and maybe includes stuff about heaven and Angels.Bit of a tall order I know but has anyone any ideas?
Many thanksx
