Healing Hearts Lesson Plan

Help the student recognize and express feelings of grief through storytelling, discussion, and creative art, and introduce simple coping strategies for comfort when missing someone.

Kindergarten children may struggle to understand and express grief. This individual session offers a safe space to identify emotions, validate them, and practice self-soothing tools to build emotional resilience.
