[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my 7 yr old today b/c I know he will hear about it on Monday from other kids. He isn't an overly anxious kid so it isn't something he is going to dwell on. [/quote] +1 Someone in his class [b]will[/b] be talking about it. I'd rather have DS hear it from me. [/quote] I don't agree with this. While a weekend is a blink of an eye for us adults, for kids it is a long time. I believe that something that happened on Friday will not be discussed by 6-8 year olds at school on Monday. They had a whole weekend of other events that will feel more recent or immediate that they are more likely to talk about. That said, I plan to gently probe my kids tonight to see if anything was said and if so, I will address it then.[/quote] I agree with this. We did not tell our 7 and 5 year olds (2nd grade and K students).[/quote]
