Barn i Sorg : pedagogens viktiga roll för barn i sorg

Abstract:

Abstract

This work is about children in sorrow. I have chosen to set the focus on the school and the

teacher’s role in the meeting with mourning children and the difference between boys and

girls reactions when mourning.

The awareness and the great importance for a teachers knowledge to meet a child in mourning,

is something I myself has experienced when a child in nursery school lost one parent

through accident.

The result of the study reflects on four teachers and two headmasters experience of children in

sorrow and literature in the subject. It is important that the school and the teachers are aware

of the importance about the knowledge in the subject to be able to meet a mourning child in

need.

Keywords: Children, reactions when mourning, sorrow, the teacher’s role
