In this video, the first in a series about kids and pet loss, Dr Bruner discusses some strategies and general principles about talking to children about the death of a pet. Being clear, allowing their feelings and your feelings too, and giving reassurance that they still have love and support are all important. Dr Bruner also talks about using a memory box or a flower drawing to help memorialize a pet and talk about feelings.
