Description

"Anything human is mentionable, and anything mentionable can be manageable." This basic approach is one of the themes of this program which features a candid discussion about the way Mister Rogers approaches the topic of death in his program "Death of a Goldfish." Fred Rogers is joined by Hedda Sharapan, a noted expert on children, as they discuss "how to talk about death with children."
