Looking for advice….

Alison

Since the Queen died last week, my 5 year old daughter tells me every night before bed that she is scared of dying and gets really upset. I tried to explain the Queens death in an age appropriate way before she went to school the next day as I knew they would talk about it so I wanted her to hear it from me first. She is usually pretty laid back and such a happy little girl. I’m just not sure how to deal with this. When she has asked me any questions about death I am trying to tell her the truth but in a way that is age appropriate. My husband and I are also not discussing the Queen in front of her to try to keep it from her mind, but school have been doing things around the subject everyday. If you have any advice to share I would love to hear it. How do I get her to stop being scared at bedtime. She doesn’t mention this at all during the day. Thanks x
