How loss is cumulative for children

Children experience a whole range of losses as they're growing up. Loss can be when a child has been bereaved, is about to face a bereavement, significant emotional losses from a parents divorce, changing school, bullying, being adopted or fostered.

It is also a possibility that they may have been affected by a series of losses which individually might not appear to have a major life altering impact, yet may have caused some real changes in their life and behaviour. For example, moving house or a change of school and friendships, can have powerful, emotional consequences for a child.

Losses come in very different shapes and sizes and are due to many different reasons. Watch this simple visual demonstration illustrating how the weight of those losses has a cumulative impact on children.
