Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mrs.Donaldson should talk to Daniel to see how he is feeling and offer support. It is important to acknowledge and address grief in children, and providing a safe and supportive environment can help them better cope with their emotions. Bringing him inside or having the other children join him may not address his individual needs and feelings. While having him write a story about his grandfather for the picture board may be a good idea, it should not be the only course of action taken to support him.
