DS is 4.25, and very questioning. He's just gone into the stage of obsessing a little about death (and sex, more on that in a minute) - basically worrying that I. or his dad, or other family members will die and that he will miss them.
I'm ok with talking to him about what happens after death (the idea of the sock from a fellow mner really helped there), but as he really likes books, I think a book would really help.
I'd really like it to stop as my dad had a series of heart attacks earlier this week, and has been very ill - I'm finding it really difficult emotionally myself, and need the help to try and get him out of the obsessing loop (he's worried that he might not see his Grandad again ...)
Also, he's asking lots of questions about where he came from (my tummy is the answer I gave), and then how he got into my tummy (he thought at first that I'd eaten him!) I've told him that daddy put him there with a bit of help from God ... anybody got any book suggestions for the 'where do babies come from?' question?
Thanks all,
ejt
