Today we were told a local girl who was 5 years old has died after choking on her school dinner. DS' school talked about in assembly and class today and sent a letter home. Now DS kept crying and is very upset by it, and he had a dream about her. How can I deal with this, he is 7. Quite annoyed iwth the school because I feel they should have informed the parents before talking about this with the children.

talk to him about it. Tell him it was a vanishingly rare accident- that you have never heard of it happening before and it is not going to happen to anyone else you know. Tell him it is ok to be sad about it and that he should come and talk to you about it whenever he wants to.
