Do you remember you first encounter with death? Was it a close relative? A grandparent perhaps. Or your pet goldfish. Or maybe even the death of Jesus Christ?
We've been reading Nui-nui a Children's Bible for about a year now. But recently.... Nui-nui has been enamored with the death of Goliath. This story is so famous... that 9 out of 10 Christian Story Books will have some version of this story. And every time we get to 'that page' with 'that image' of Goliath lying down... Nui-nui will instinctively point to him.
As a parent, how do you introduce death to a 2 year old? Do you lie? Do you embellish? Or how about doing what I did.... "David took care of Goliath....and he's down." No lie... no harm... no foul.
How long can I keep this up?
