If this was me I would let the mother of the child know the question has come up and ask her how she wants to handle it. because this type of conversation should be between the mother and the child.

As for how to get on their level - listen to how he talks and use that same vocabulary - words. he will understand.

My niece and I are trying to come with something together.... to tell him, other than "I don't know" and "Mommy loves you" - for they have been done, and really do not know how he (the father) truly feels toward this particular child - his least favorite of the three (sad).

AND - not so much how to get to his level, for that I can do..... I am the mother of three, but rather what to say and what not to say, for we do not wish to create any further wounds in him, but we want to be honest - per his age..... 5 yrs old.


Thanks....
