#16 How To Talk To Young Children About Death
Show Notes

Whether we like it or not, our children will ask us questions about death. Perhaps a pet they loved has died or a member of the family or they saw something on TV. How can you help your child understand death in a way that is appropriate for their developmental stage? In this episode, I’ll share with you many recommendations for how to address such a difficult topic, things you can say, things that are not recommendable to say and how you can help your young child to integrate his/her fear and questions about death. 
Check out the show notes for the episode for a list of books for young children that you can read to your child that can help them understand death, in an age appropriate, friendly, and simple way: coachkaremi.com/podcast/16/en
