How to explain Pentecost to children easily

When is Pentecost celebrated?

The word Pentecost comes from Greek and means something like 50th day. Because the Pentecost festival is celebrated exactly 50 days after Easter, which also includes Easter Sunday. The date therefore shifts every year and takes place between May 10 and June 13. But mostly Pentecost falls in May. Whit Monday is a public holiday in all German states.

Separation: How do parents explain this to the child?

Sometimes the separation is inevitable – even with parents. But how do you tell your child? A psychologist gives tips. And: parents report on their children’s reactions

Parents should not argue in front of the child or speak badly about the other

Prof. Walper, when is the right time to tell the child that mother and father are separating?

When the parents are sure and the decision is made. However, many find it difficult, they delay it. Surveys have shown that parents often give their child other reasons for someone to move out – such as professional commitments. If the child later learns that he has been lied to, he is usually very disappointed and may no longer be able to trust his parents.
