Do you remember losing your first pet as a kid, or a grandparent, or maybe someone closer? Death and grief can be a very uncomfortable topic, and even as adults we can often struggle to wrap our head around these conversations. How we speak to our children about death can have a huge impact on their frame of mind, and their grieving process. 

In this week's episode, we're joined by the incredible Carly Dober, a Psychologist and a Director at the Australian Association of Psychologists Incorporated (AAPi) and runs her own private practice. She works with children, adults, families, and is passionate about mental health education.

Carly talks us through how we can approach these conversations in a way that is comforting for children, age appropriate, and won't traumatise them. Carly also explains why it's important to start these conversations before losing someone.
