Battle of Talking about Death with Kids
Episode 15
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026
Not the most uplifting way to start the new year, but this is a topic that we both have been wanting to talk about for months now. Every family will be touched by death at some point - whether it's a friend, a pet, or a close family member (which in our minds PETS fall into of course). But the task of talking about "death" with a child is a tricky one. Do you bring in a religious aspect? Do you sugarcoat it? Is it best to just rip off the band-aid and dive in? On this episode of Pick Your Battles, we share stories about recent deaths we have experienced in 2026 and how we talked about it with our kids.
