She deludes herself that alking about him as though he is still around will make the reality of his death disappear. She is in for a big shock when the truth finally hits her.

The father of one of the children died before the kid came to this school. Mother insists on attaching his name to everything, for example when parents give a gift to the school or for birthday invitations. She has two explanantions: dad is in heaven watching and caring, and she doesnt want her child to feel different from other children. I find this tatally bizarre but the children take it as completely normal, so i decided to leave it at that. I teach kindergarten.
