We're watching Finding Nemo and my three year old asks (not sad, very happily) where Nemo's mum is. Well, Nemo's mum is eaten by a big fish in the beginning of the movie (I've always fast forwarded this), what is the right thing to tell her? When do children start asking about death and how do you explain it to a three year old? Any advice would be great.
