UGH! I had to explain the circle of life to my extremely sensitive 8yo. We'd watched a show called Planet Earth (rated G) on the Discovery channel. About an hour after he'd gone to bed I heard him crying. The part of the show showing how pandas live/survive had him bawling. It showed that female pandas usually have two babies at a time and almost always let one die because she doesn't provide enough milk for two. He only got the part about letting one baby die.
So here it is, the middle of the night and we're showing him sites on the net about people who save pandas and how many people in the world really do care. - He went to bed a very happy child. - I hope he never changes.
