How to help your child when a pet dies<br>Tell your child right away. Sometimes people avoid telling children about the death of a pet right away because the conversation can be so difficult. When a pet dies, it is best to tell your child soon after it happens rather than avoiding or putting off the conversation.
Children are more capable of handling death than you think as long as you tell them right away.
