Be factual.
Kids can read through us better than adults.
If you're religious will your religious leader do a ceremony for you? A Catholic preist here goea to ppls homes and does pet funerals for ppl.
I'm direct with my kids heres the diagnosis heres the options and if its his time he will die.
I dont do the they are asleep or anything like that personally I fibd it emotionally and psychologically damaging.
I'd say our dog is sick he has this and then with whatever happens say ge died.
Death is hard pets people but you are setting the stage for how they learn abd deal with it for the rest of their lives.
I beleive honesty is the best policy. |
