So my 5yo has seen the trailers for coco and has wanted to watch for while. She saw it yesterday afternoonwith dad and seemed to really enjoy. However as I was putting her to bed out of the blue she starts sobbing saying she doesn’t want to become a skeleton. She doesn’t want to get old and die and go to heaven or have a family coz they’ll die too. I was totally taken aback. Obviously didn’t want to lie and say that won’t happen but told her it won’t happen for a very very long time. Took us a while but eventually got her to calm down to go to bed but still think she’s going to have questions. Just interested if any others have had this chat with their lo and what you said?
PS I know I should’ve looked into what coco was about - I just thought it was a nice Pixar film about a boy who liked music so I know I brought this on myself
