Since remembrance day ds1 (5) has been very concerned about death, having been told at school that lots of people died and being shown a "scary film". Dh has told him that he will never die to try and calm/reassure him (and get him to sleep at night). What would you say? Would you tell him the truth, that everyone dies but hopefully not for a long time?

He is 5! All that matters for now is he is not stressed out over it anymore, in a couple of years you can explain it fully but actually does a five year old need to have a discussion like this right now ? I would leave it your H was just trying his best !
