Kids who are aware of the deaths of other young children may need extra parental support and understanding, according to a clinical child psychologist.
David Coleman has urged parents and guardians to “empathise with them” following the weekend deaths of four young people – jockey Jack de Bromhead, 13, on Saturday, and Lisa Cash, 18, and her eight-year-old twin siblings Christy and Chelsea Cawley on Sunday.
Well-known psychologist David said: “The first thing for a lot of parents is to establish what your child already knows and what sense have they made of what they have already heard.
