You may struggle with what to say when loss occurs, and there\u2019s a good reason for that. Toddlers are too young to truly understand death, so trying to explain what happened to a grandparent or pet is tricky. But, even though an understanding of death won\u2019t sink in until age 4 or 5, your toddler still realized something is different.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Highlights:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s a plant, a pet, or a relative, it can be difficult to talk to your child about loss.

In an understandable attempt to not upset your little one, you may reach for euphemisms to explain death. The dog was \u201cput to sleep,\u201d Grandpa \u201cisn\u2019t here anymore,\u201d or Aunt Maria \u201c went on vacation for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosemarie Truglio, a developmental psychologist and senior vice president of research at Sesame Workshop, explains that these mild portrayals of death can actually confuse or even frighten young children. This is especially true for the word \u201csleep.\u201d Putting \u201cthe dog to sleep\u201d or saying that Grandma \u201cwent to sleep forever\u201d can actually spark fear in young children, because sleep is a part of their everyday routine.<\/p>\n<p>Truglio says it\u2019s important to be straightforward and use concrete terms. \u201cWhen you die, your heart stops, your body stops working. When your body stops working, you can\u2019t eat, you can\u2019t breathe, and you can\u2019t talk anymore.\u201d While statements like these can seem scary for parents, they\u2019re much less confusing for a toddler.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gently Remind Them <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Toddlers digest this information in bits and pieces, because their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/19\/what-do-babies-toddlers-remember\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>memory skills<\/strong><\/a> are still developing. After clearly explaining what happened to Grandpa, don\u2019t be surprised if your toddler says, \u201cWhere Pop-pop?\u201d two days later. Children need time and gentle reminders that someone close to them is gone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s Okay to Cry <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Truglio explains that it&#8217;s important for children to see parents grieve. &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna cry, and I think that you need to explain why you&#8217;re crying.&#8221; Sharing an emotional moment with your child can be comforting and healing for both of you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Express Gratitude <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Express gratitude for knowing the person or pet you\u2019ve lost. \u201cI know we\u2019re sad now, but I\u2019m so happy that we got to have so much fun with Max. We got to love him, and pet him, and play with him. We\u2019ll never forget him.\u201d This brings positivity, love, and appreciation into conversations about loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surround Them with Love <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A support system is critical in these situations, even to a toddler. When they experience loss, it\u2019s extra important that feel cared for and loved. Spending quality time with you and other loved ones can make a big difference in how they perceive death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Together<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children\u2019s books are always a great way to introduce emotional topics to little ones. Here are a few recommendations that are appropriate for toddlers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Something-Very-Sad-Happened-Understanding\/dp\/1433822660\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Something Very Sad Happened<\/strong><\/a> by Bonnie Zucker<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tims-Goodbye-Steven-Salerno\/dp\/0374306478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Tim\u2019s Goodbye<\/strong><\/a> by Steven Salerno<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Goodbye-Book-Todd-Parr\/dp\/0316404977\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The Goodbye Book<\/strong><\/a> by Todd Parr<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though toddlers can\u2019t understand death, we still need to address it with them.
