A professor from the URJC Department of Psychology, Miguel Ángel López Saez, has been interviewed by TVE in reference to how to deal with grief with children.
Miguel Ángel, who is part of the telephone attention group of the Official College of Psychologists of Madrid (900124365), reminds us that these days, many and many of us have contact with little ones and on some occasions, they will ask us about doubts that they are assaulted or we will have to face complicated situations. That is why it is essential to take into account the evolutionary stage in which they are in order to know how and what to communicate to them. Especially when dealing with the loss of loved ones. In this sense, as Miguel Ángel indicates in the interview, "the subject of death should not be a taboo for children and we should help them to say goodbye". In addition, it is important to adapt our language to theirs, to transmit security and accessibility, so that they feel confident to ask any question.
