Routines make the things we need to do predictable and familiar, guiding how we go about them. One of the most essential routines is the bedtime routine.
How we talk about death with children helps to embrace death as part of our life experience. Providing honest, intentional explanations, acknowledging & accepting emotions, planning for difficult behaviors, and providing support helps us to help our children understand death and navigate their feelings of loss and sadness. Children learn death is a part of life.
