Be Honest

  • It is essential that children be told the truth, difficult as the truth can be.


  • Provide information. The younger the child, the simpler the information.


  • Suicide and murder are especially difficult to explain to children. It may be helpful to consult a professional or read literature on the topic before talking to your child.
