Explaining Memorial Day to the Next Generation
Newsrael News Desk 14.04.2021
Memorial Day is always a complex date, and most parents are troubled every year by the question of how to mediate such a complex and painful reality for young children.
This task is even more complex when it comes to children with special needs.
At what age do you start talking about Remembrance Day?
How do you talk about Memorial Day with kids who are ready for it?
It is important to find specific activities through which you can mediate remembrance days, find out how to speak the child's language, through art and creation for example.
Emotions can be expressed - paint tanks and even produce a "social story", a book with lots of pictures and a bit of text that simulates visual illustration so that children can connect to it.
Parents can produce such a book and use it even with children without special needs, and thus through connecting to one story a slightly more complex reality can be mediated.
It is vitally important to have our future remember our past
