"When are you gonna die?"
When talking about death, one of the biggest gifts we can offer our kids is not knowing with them.
Welcome to Mama Mama: a tiny alley on the internet for questions and reflections on parenting. This is less about parenting methods and more about how we can be in touch with ourselves while we care for and nurture our kids.
Dear Mama Mama,
My Grandma died a few months ago. My 4-year-old has been preoccupied with death ever since - he asks when we will die, if we will be old. He announces his sister will die soon. I struggle to know how to talk about it. It’s overwhelming, and I don’t know what to say to him. How honest should I be about how much we don’t know with such a little kid?
