1. CLEARINGHOUSE ON ELEMENTARY AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Filial Therapy
Children communicate through play (Axline, 1969; Landreth, 2002). It is their innate language. By teaching parents the language of play, and how to use play therapeutically, the communication gap between parent and child can be closed.

2. ERIC DIGEST
Children and Grief
This digest discusses psychological tasks that appear to be essential to children's adjustment, how children understand death and react to the death of a loved one, and how parents and teachers can help children cope with loss.

3. NATIONAL INFORMATION CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES
Children with Disabilities: Understanding Sibling Issues
The birth of a child with a disability or chronic illness, or the discovery that a child has a disability, has a profound effect on a family. http://www.athealth.com/Consumer/disorders/disabsibling.html

4. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH
Depression in Children and Adolescents
Depressive disorders, which include major depressive disorder (unipolar depression), dysthymic disorder (chronic, mild depression), and bipolar disorder (manic-depression), can have far reaching effects on the functioning and adjustment of young people. Among both children and adolescents, depressive disorders confer an increased risk for illness and interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that persist long after the depressive episode is resolved. http://www.athealth.com/Consumer/disorders/ChildDepression.html

5. ERIC DIGEST
Stress and Young Children
Stress is experienced in many forms and varies by the individual, the child's developmental level, and the child's previous life experience. http://www.athealth.com/Consumer/disorders/childstress.html

6. SANDPLAY THERAPISTS OF AMERICA
Sandplay with Children
Given an empathic therapist, children rarely need any encouragement to start making pictures or scenes and playing in the sand. http://www.sandplay.org/sandplay_with_children.htm
