Among all the difficulties which parents have to face in order to bring up a child, to tell about the ‘Death’ is the hardest of all. No parents want to give sorrow to their kids in any form. But death is the part of life. When you live you have to die too. It is necessary for a child to understand this phenomena.

 

Perhaps, we are so much superstitious that we don’t want to discuss about death in our homes. But if we avoid to discuss about death with our young ones then death remains unthinkable fact of life for them and when it comes to grasp the life of any special person in their homes, their reaction against it is unbearable. Intelligent parents always give every knowledge about all those things which are the parts of our life. Preschoolers can be aware about death if parents tell them from early age about death in form of stories, in which the death of princess, birth or their favorite hero takes place.

 

Despite all knowledge about death, many kids don’t understand many of the facts of death ,for example, they don’t understand that it is inevitable, permanent, and happens to everyone. They have their own life full of fantasy, according to them deceased can still eat, drink or even can sleep. Preschoolers have not mature mind ,even you explain them about death hundreds of time , they still have point of view that it is temporary.

 

Reaction of kids about death is not the same. Some kids are naturally mature and intelligent they soon understand what had happened to their loves ones. But most of kids become clingy. They struggle most to understand the cause behind the sadness of elders. They may also be upset and may not show any reaction or it may also possible that they find place in their dreams and never want to face the reality.

 

Tips to overcome this problem;

  • Tell your child that death is natural phenomena and it  happens to everyone. We are not alone to face this.
  • Tell your child to be brave in every disaster of life.
  • Help him to built up his personality.
  • Take care of them in such difficulties of life.
  • Let them feel that death of their love ones is not the end of life.
