Never Too Young to Know

Never Too Young To Know is the first book to bring together diverse fields of study and offer a multifaceted theoretical approach to how children experience death. Using stories of children's own experiences supported by data from a large research study, Silverman explains the wide range of effects of loss upon children, the challenges they face as they grieve, and ways of supporting them as they change and grow in the bereavement process. This book is suitable for Social Work courses dealing with children at the upper level undergraduate/graduate level, Psychology courses dealing with death and dying and the family at the same level of students, and school and pastoral counseling courses. In addition, this book has a wider audience in general, readers who are dealing with death in their children's lives as well.
