In this session we discussed an approach we can take to handle difficult questions to ensure that our interactions stay child-led.

(i.e we don't overwhelm them with too much information the first time they ask a question!) and we take things step by step, answering only the question that they have asked - then stop and let them come to us with a follow up, which may be minutes, days or hours later).  

Always be guided by the child, moment by moment, listen to what question they are actually ask them and answer that exact question as simply and truthfully as you can.  

It's also fine (and encouraged) to admit when we don't know an answer to their question, suggest doing research together to find out answers, or say we need time to think!  

We had some great questions from the audience which added different perspectives too - it was really useful.
