Children especially pick up on everything around them, so it is important for teachers to show the same respect for each individual child, for the child to then learn to respect one another. It is also important for young children to recognise their own uniqueness and for them to understand that their own individuality should be embraced. When children learn about the wide variety of people in the world and around them, this will influence the way that they grow and also what they will become.

First stage being Numbness : Numbness forms a psychological and physical barrier which blocks out pain allowing the person who is grieving, to carry on with day-to-day living. Second Stage : The stage when the bereaved person can think only of the deceased and is unable to concentrate on anything else other than the person who has died, this giving a feeling of grief/pining the emotional response to searching. Third Stage : This stage is when reality starts to kicks in, when the person has to admit that searching is not going to bring that person back and pangs of grief start to subside.
Anger in relation with the loss, loses strength, which is replaced by feelings of apathy and despair.
