My daughter came home from playgroup this afternoon distraught about WW1. All afternoon we've had tears about the soldiers dying, me dying, friends whose parents are soldiers dying. I have no reason to think the staff would not have spoken about this sensitively but I actually wondered if this is really a topic for pre-schoolers. She has asked about death before but I would not have said she is a sensitive child before today, although she seems quite switched on. I will speak to the staff but has anyone else had this recently? I really don't know where to start trying to explain anything about the topic to a child of this age.
