How do you talk to a child about death? In this episode of CBeebies Parenting Download, Radio 1 presenter Katie Thistleton and rapper Guvna B are joined by McFly star and children’s author Tom Fletcher, and child, adult and family therapist Amanda Orange, to unpack one of the toughest conversations a parent can face. Tom shares the inspiration behind his new book Pudsey and the Thread of Hope, which he's written for BBC Children in Need, and Amanda offers practical advice on explaining death to young children, avoiding confusing language, and using creativity to help families navigate grief.
