Before you start

For the grown-up
  1. 1This one can bring big feelings. Choose a time with no rush afterwards.
  2. 2Tell your child what you're going to do together, roughly how long it takes, and that either of you can stop at any time.
  3. 3Think about your own answer first, so you can go first.
  4. 4Have tissues and a drink nearby. Tears and laughter are both welcome.

Why this helps

Many children carry things they didn't get to say. Imagining one more minute gives those words somewhere to go, and hearing a grown-up share their own wishes shows that missing someone is shared, not something to hide.
