The 5 Stages of Grief Don't Explain Your Child's Reactions

But this will.

Your child’s grief isn’t linear, predictable, or stage-based — it shows up in their behavior long before they can put words to what they feel. This quick quiz, powered by the Griefprint framework, helps you understand the emotional pattern beneath their reactions so you know exactly how to support them.

You’ll learn what their behavior is really communicating, why certain moments feel harder

than others, and how to respond in ways that create safety instead of shutdowns. A clear, compassionate starting point for parents navigating loss, stress, or any major transition.

Here’s how I can help you transform your family’s communication patterns:

Insight Sessions (PCM-Based)

You learn the communication, stress, and behavioral patterns shaping your relationships—some learned, some inherited, all changeable once understood. Using the Process Communication Model®, I help you decode how you show up under pressure and what each person needs to feel seen and understood. You walk away with practical tools to break old cycles, repair with clarity, and create emotional safety in real-time moments.

GriefPrint Framework

Grief doesn’t just live in the heart—it lives in the body, the nervous system, and the way families relate to one another. GriefPrint helps you understand the emotional imprints driving reactions (yours and your child’s) so you can support your family with presence instead of pressure. You’ll learn why behaviors shift during stress, how to respond with clarity and compassion, and how to create a new emotional legacy rooted in honesty and connection.

Journal Creation

Journaling is a powerful way to understand your emotions and reconnect with yourself during seasons of grief or growth. I create guided journals with thoughtful prompts, supportive structure, and space to explore what’s true for you. Whether you’re processing loss, strengthening parent–child connection, or healing old patterns, these journals help you move with more clarity and compassion. Custom journals are also available for individuals, families, and organizations.

“Annette’s presentations were the most useful behavior-related trainings

I’ve had in 22 years of teaching. She explained the why behind behavior

and gave specific strategies I could use the same day. Her feedback was

realistic, effective, and grounded in deep knowledge of how kids actually work.”
