Our daughter accidently killed our fish?

[Not So Hot Mom of 3]

I know its sounds super horrible. She thought she was doing a good thing by feeding the fish its breakfast, lunch and dinner all at the same time. The poor fish ate itself to death, and now my 5 year old feels really bad. We have tried telling her that it wasn't her fault, and things just happen. But she keeps saying that she killed the fish. We have told her in the past that if you over feed the fish, it will die. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make her feel better?

Get her another fish. Now she can show how she learned from her mistakes and be a good mommy to her new fish.

Buy more fish and this time, you do the feeding.
