What do you tell your children when mommy or daddy loses their job?

Age factors into this answer, but in general, tell them the truth. Ensure them that things may be a bit different, but that everything will be OK. Even if the parent is feeling terrified and worried, I would encourage the parent to fake it for the kids sake. If things in your life need to change because of that loss of job, then once again, talk to your kids about those changes and use this opportunity to teach values and appreciation that so many of our kids lack these days.
