The four tasks of Mourning

1. To accept the reality of the loss.
2. To experience the pain of grief.
3. To adjust to an environment in which the deceased(or other loss) is missing.
4. To withdraw emotional energy (from the relationship with what has been lost) and reinvest it in another relationship.

Children in grief need special attention since they look to their parents for help in navigating the difficult passages of grief.

Goals of Misbehaviour

As children grow and interact with their environment, they gradually develop methods for achieving their basic goal: belonging.Several factors, including the child's place in the family, the quality of parents' interaction with the child, and the child's creative reaction to the family atmosphere, are critical in the development of coherent pattens of behaviour and attitudes.

Discouraged children with a pattern of misbehaviour are usually pursuing one of four misktaken goals: attention, power, revenge, and inadequacy or withdrawal.Understanding the goal for which a misbehaving child is striving helps put the behaviour in perspective and provides a basis for corrective action.

Always look for the need the behaviour is meeting!

(Henderson & Thompson, 2011)

Effective communication is an art!

By this we understand that, just as a graphic artist processes his material in a skillful, expert, creative manner: reshaping it, giving it a new dimension and perspective; to call forth meaning and message; so the counsellor also wants to help reshape people and social materials, putting into it new proportion and relations and wanting to open new perspectives on the meaning and sense of being human.
(P.O. le Roux)

Personal counselling

Personal counselling is a human technology to help you realise where you are in your world; leading to understanding where you are with respect to where you want to be. To also be able to identify the steps which will take you from where you are to where you want to be.
(J.M.Fuster)
