Dr Amit Sen, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Director and Co-Founder of Children First, a Delhi based child and adolescent mental health service, says, it is important to talk about death in an honest manner with children and at the same time providing them with a safe space to express their feelings. He suggests that while telling children about the loss of someone dear, maintain composure and stability. It is also important to talk about what the adults will do to make sure that their life is not disrupted in a big way.
