In her work with bereaved children at the Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston, Fox (1988) identified four universal tasks that grieving children must complete in order to achieve a grief outcome that is good: "understanding," "grieving," "commemorating," and "going on." In light of the need to support grieving children in early childhood programs, the purpose of this essay is to provide caregivers with a deeper understanding of what grief is, to describe how young children experience grief, and to explore the process of how young children move through grief, as outlined by Fox (1988). Using this understanding as a foundation, the authors have identified a set of corresponding teacher tasks, focusing on practical ideas for empathic communication and the identification of developmentally appropriate language that can be used to talk with young children in grief to promote healing and resilience. In the final section, the authors provide some useful Web-based resources that teachers can easily access to gain further knowledge about helping children cope with grief.
