Death: Talking With Kids About The End
Podcast: Life KitPublished On: Mon Apr 29 2019
Description: Whether it's a goldfish or Grandma, every child will experience a death at some point — and their parents will likely struggle to explain it. Here's what to remember:- Be honest and concrete. The cat wasn't put to sleep, and Grandma didn't go on a long journey.- Don't overwhelm kids with too much information. They need time to process.- Make sure kids know they're still surrounded by people who will love and support them.- Don't be afraid to show emotion.- When it comes to deathbed visits or funerals, tell kids what they might see and give them a choice.- Keep the hope alive!Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
