How to Answer Your Children’s Questions About Other People’s Families

Why does he live with his grandma and grandpa?

Of course my child asked me why he could not live with his grandparents too after hearing of a friend who no longer lived with his parents.  I took the time to explain how much I loved them.  I also shared that sometimes mommies and daddies love their children but do things that would not be good for their children.  I shared that in these cases sometimes the children have to live with their grandparents instead of their parents.
