Amanda Seyfried is open with her kids about death
Amanda Seyfried is open with her kids about "the circle of life" after they have lost a few pets.
Amanda Seyfried is open with her kids about "the circle of life" as they have had a few pets that have passed away.
The 'Mean Girls' star - who has two children Nina, seven, and Thomas, four, with husband Thomas Sadoski - has revealed how she talks to her kids about the death of a pet.
The 38-year-old actress has a 15-year-old dog called Finn, and Amanda has said that her kids are aware he is getting older.
She told People magazine: "They know he's an old man, and my daughter especially, she knows that things die, but you get a chunk of time with them, you respect them, you love them, you give them the best life they can have, and then they go, and you remember them.
"It's just like it's the most positive spin that you can have."
The 'Mamma Mia' star - who lives on a farm and owns several chickens, numerous horses, multiple goats, and a donkey - also admitted that living with many animals has made the process of talking about death with her young children easier.
She added: "What I've learned living on a farm is that I've been exposed to a lot of death, and it's helped me shape my relationship with it. "And I am almost positive that my kids will have a healthier understanding and appreciation for life and death because of the farm."
Meanwhile, Amanda has previously shared that her daughter is "obsessed" with 'Mamma Mia!'.
She told the same outlet: “My daughter's obsessed.
“My mom showed my daughter, and my daughter is now obsessed, and so she's seven, so she's in second grade, and all her friends are obsessed. So now they're starting to recognise me as Sophie, which is a little weird, but how beautiful.
“I don't think she quite understands it, but she loves it. She loves it!"
