#Shoftek!

They taught us how to deliver bad news in scholl and I had some practice. No one knows your kids better than you so you know best. This is just a boiler plate ideas that may or may not work but I wanted to share

1) Use clear, honest words. Say “died” and “dead” rather than “went to sleep,” “passed away,” or “we lost her.” Euphemisms can confuse or frighten children. A young child told someone “went to sleep” may become afraid of bedtime.
2) Explain what death means physically. “When someone dies, their body stops working. Their heart stops beating, they don’t breathe, and they can’t feel pain, hunger, or cold anymore. They won’t come back.”. This may be adequate for older kids. But the no more pain is also good for younger ones.
3) This will also be a good time be bring up faith.
4) Keep it short, then let them ask questions.

No one knows your kids better than you do.

How is the video editing going? And how are you doing?
Do the horses have embarassing stories? Hendrix (my dog) used to always run after the ball and sometimes he does not pay attention to where is he going so he ends in the pool. Poor thing also could not swim and this is why my parents let him in the back yard alone if there is a ball. He loved to chase balls.
