WE ARE SURROUNDED BY DEATH. THIS ISN’T AN OBSERVATION ON THE STATE OF THE COVID
PANDEMIC — ALTHOUGH WITH 970,000 DEATHS AND COUNTING, IT COULD BE. RATHER, IT’S
AN OBSERVATION ON LIFE. WE ARE BORN, WE GROW, WE DIE. NO ONE CAN AVOID THIS
CYCLE AND YET, WE SO RARELY TALK ABOUT THAT LAST PART. MICHAEL HEBB

TIPS AND TRICKS
HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT DEATH
- REMOVE YOUR EMOTION: APPROACHING DEATH AS A PRAGMATIC THING THAT HAPPENS CAN
ACTUALLY BE HELPFUL WHEN TALKING TO KIDS.
- USE CLEAR AND HONEST LANGUAGE: THIS IS NOT TIME TO EMPLOY A WELL-CRAFTED
METAPHOR. JUST
- DON’T VOLUNTEER DETAILS: IT’S ALSO NOT A TIME TO BRING TO THEM EXAMPLES. YOU
DON’T LEAD WITH THE SEX TALK ABOUT HOW MOM AND DAD DO IT AND YOU SHOULDN’T LEAD
THE DEATH TALK WITH HOW DEATH IMPACTED YOU.
- DIRECT THEIR THOUGHTS TO MEMORIES: MEMORIES ARE MORE TANGIBLE AND REAL THAN AN
AFTERLIFE FOR KIDS — AND AN IMPORTANT PLACE TO START THINKING ABOUT DEATH.

TIPS AND TRICKS
3 WAYS TO SELF PROMOTE
1. FIND YOUR FOCUS: YOU MIGHT HAVE A BUNCH OF SKILLS, BUT IF YOU THROW THEM ALL
OUT THERE YOU JUST SOUND LIKE A BRAGGART. PROMOTE WHAT MAKES YOU A STANDOUT.
2. DON’T CLOG EVERYONE’S FEED: BE METHODICAL, NOT MANIC. BE CONSISTENT, NOT
CONSTANT.
3. CARRY A THICK SKIN: WHEN YOU PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, THE HATERS WILL SWARM.
IGNORE THEM AND RECOGNIZE THE SILENT MAJORITY IS YOUR INTENDED AUDIENCE.
