Only by knowing death can we cherish life, and only by facing death can we understand the value of life! How to educate children about life?

In our traditional culture, death is a sensitive and taboo topic. In daily life, most parents deliberately avoid talking about death, thinking that it will ruin their happiness. When children ask questions related to death, parents usually use fairy tales to explain the ultimate ownership of the deceased, hoping to dilute the inherent impression of the horror and grief of death and prevent children from having psychological shadows.

Because children can't understand abstract metaphors or comforting words, they should be told by facts that death means the complete cessation and disappearance of physical and psychological functions and the complete termination of life. It is impossible to resurrect. I am afraid that the child will resent or suspect that my dear family is not really dead. Why don't you come back to see him (her), why the spirit of the deceased is not dead, and why he (she) can't feel it. Because traveling or going home, this kind of comfort easily makes children resent why the deceased no longer loves him (her), why he left without saying goodbye, and may consciously curse or resent God (or God) for his misconduct and feel guilty or worried about being punished.

Dead butterflies, rotten fruits and even bursting bubbles can all use these natural things to convey the concept of death to children. But death is a topic that everyone will face when they grow up. Avoiding talking will only increase the mystery of death, cause children's inappropriate imagination and even extreme fear of death; Excessive embellishment may beautify death and make children feel that the world after death is beautiful. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss death with children. When children correctly understand death, they can respect and cherish life more. For death, children's hearts are as full of doubts and anxiety as adults. Birth, old age, illness and death are unavoidable topics for human beings, and parents don't need to hide them.

Discuss with your children several times more, you will have a clearer understanding of death, and when death comes to your loved ones, you will have less fear. Hide-and-seek is a classic game associated with death in childhood. From the child's point of view, disappearing may make him afraid, while reappearing will bring him happiness.
