I’m a teacher and if a parent told me this, you best that Dolly would be alive and kicking no questions asked. You’re an amazing mum

The innocence that she thinks dolly is singing to her when you’re listening to her🥹

My son was obsessed with Steve Irwin and when he passed away I did the same thing! I warned family not to tell him, we turned the news off etc.
Then, one day, my little 4 year old said to me... Mum I've got something awful to tell you. I knew at school but I've not told you because I knew you'd cry, Steve Irwin is dead. 😭
we'd been protecting each other from the sad news!
let's hope Steve is cooking a Barbie tea for Dolly and Kenny! 💙🩷 xx

She takes it so well because you brought her up so well. Dolly’s gone to sing islands in the stream with Kenny. Class

Well now she knows that Dolly is singing in heaven, so don’t worry! You’ve told a white lie to protect her innocence and that’s ok. You seem like an epic mummy, and you’re doing it right. 💜

My daughter (4) loves Michael jackson. My sister told her he’s dead 😳 and she wouldn’t stop going on about it for days. One day she turned round and said he’s dancing with her nanna in heaven and I said your right, he is! And it makes me giggle at the thought of her nanna doing Jackson moves 🤣

Mate my mum told me soreen was cake so for the first 8 years of my life I didn’t think I liked cake and declined it at birthday parties. I think you’re doing a bang up job duck ❤️

I think you should just make death a thing to celebrate and how she’s been such a beautiful woman to everyone. Have a dolly party and listen to all her best songs. Instead of lying to her. 😭

I actually think you handled it beautifully 🥺🩷 at 5 she doesn’t need a big complicated explanation, and telling her Dolly missed Kenny and went to heaven to sing with him gives her something comforting to understand. The lovely thing is she can still love Dolly exactly the same, listen to all her songs and grow up with her music. Dolly might not be here anymore but everything she gave us still is 🥺🩷

Technically no lie was told she’s singing songs from heaven now and not from the ground. 🤍

my 3 y/o is the same, loves dolly and listens to her every single day. i broke the news to her, she was sad, but weirdly understood it and every time we listen to 9-5 she goes “dolly has died” 😩

You’ve definitely done the right thing! Innocence in children is something we should try and protect for as long as we can as parents! You are smashing it!
