Kites to Make in Therapy

Kite making in therapy has been used in groups for grief counselling.  A memorable way to conclude any grief counselling with a child.  Dane (2001) recommends kite making as a tool in managing grief.  Children in groups for coping with grief include kite making in the last session, where a message is written on the kite to say goodbye to the deceased parent and then taken outside and flown.
