Today I’d like to illustrate Owen’s tantrum using the seven stages of grief.  The catalyst was that we made him wear a pirate bandana he made at Harborfest.

1. Shock and Denial

2. Pain and Guilt.

3.  Anger and Bargaining.

4.  Depression, loneliness.

5.  The Upward Turn.

6.  Reconstruction and Working Through.

7.  Acceptance and Hope.
