What is a soul? How to help students cope with loss & grief

Adults struggle with how to help young people separated from a
parent or loved one due to a death or a divorce. Discussions of
spirituality or a higher power have to be handled delicately in
education but they are important. Guest Karen Herrick shares her
powerful story of an exchange with her own grandson who was worried
about her dying and how you might navigate that discussion with
your students or even your own child.

“Please talk about how teachers can dig into the universal theme
of respect and apply that to classroom management. Thank you!“--
