While everyone grieves differently, there are some behaviors and emotions commonly expressed by children
depending on their developmental level. No matter how old a child is, it can be helpful to read through each

when a teenager is struggling to find a physical outlet for their grief. We hope this information will help with
understanding how grief affects children and teens across the developmental span.
