[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1608881, member: 24016"] My daughter is almost six, and has her own animals, so it's not unusual to have to tell her something died. In fact, one of her does got her head stuck under a gate a couple of weeks ago and did not survive. She asked what happened, was told the truth and moved on. She has been taught that life has value and death is a reality. I allow her to be sad, but not let her sadness dominate her life. Shyte happens, we move on. I think growing up raising animals, hunting with us and seeing where our food comes from (whether it is the garden or the feedlot) is imperative to a child. [/QUOTE]
