Tip 4: Let the child ask questions and answer them as openly and honestly as possible, listen carefully to the child

Anne is 9 years old when her mother dies due to a sick bed after cancer. The whole process, Anne has been involved in what her mother has had to go through to treatments and everything. Now that her mother has died, Dad doesn't know how to help Anne go through the process of saying goodbye.
Father is having a very hard time with the death of his wife and can't have his daughter Anne asking questions all the time. Questions about how it is that her mother feels so cold, how it is that her mother suddenly lost all the wrinkles, how buried in his work goes.
Despite the fact that death has also been discussed during the disease process, these questions come in very hard, which makes it difficult for father to give a good answer. Father himself does not know how to answer some questions either.
But know this is not a bad thing at all. Even as a parent or educator, you can't always know an answer to everything. It is especially important for the child that you answer the questions a child has about a topic like this honestly. You can also simply return the questions that you, as a parent or educator, have no answer to the child. Tell honestly that you don't have the answer to that, that you don't know everything either. Children will appreciate that much more than if you tell a lie to protect them from possible pains and sadness. Ultimately, the lie you tell will only cause more pain and sadness in the longer term, and that is precisely something you want to prevent as a parent or educator.
