this question my dd 5.2 asked me the other day when we were in the car. She got quite upset as she 'wants sombody to cuddle her' when I'm gone. I was not sure how to respond to that so just said I'll be around for quite some time. To which she said but you're so many numbers older than me (cheers darling you just called me old ).
I am aware that one of the kids in the parallel class just lost his father (not sure about the circumstances) so the topic death is being covered by the teachers to explain why that boy is so sad and under the weather. All the kids are being really sweet to him, however now we're left to explain to dd what might happen to us and I'm at a loss.
Any advice on how to approach that would be gratefully received.
