    parents avoid talking to children about death because they think it will upset them but in reality it is better to let them know about death so that they can deal with it easily.

    Talking to children about death can be difficult because they will be scared but on the other way it is a good idea to explain the death for them but not in specific way, children should be learn that when someone dies you won't have the capacity to see them once more. So, parents must talk about death to their children to have more knowledge.

    Talking about death is hard even for adult, so it definitely will upset the children but it is best to tell them from a young age with a not to specific way. And I think religion does help a lot with explaining death to a child without upsetting them.

    Can't seem to access the article, regardless this is a great topic. Death for some reason is a taboo topic that isn't talked about enough. For something that is natural and happens to everyone it is amazing how little understanding about it there is. Regardless of age, death saddens you. However as a young child or toddler, you don't really understand what is happening until your parents explain the finer details. From early on, child birth is usually explained or outlined to young kids as they are gaining younger brothers or sisters. This is the time when death should also be bought up and touched on. The earlier raised, the lesser chance of a death heavily affecting the child will occur.

    Can't access the article either but as mentioned above its an interesting topic. I think that children should be explained about death when they bring themselves first bring it up that way it won't seem as taboo maybe because they themslves asked the question, butif they don't ask about death they an explaination should still been given so they are aware and so it dosen't scare them as much.

    Well, in my opinion most of the parents does not talk about death infront of the children because they doestnot wan tthem to be scarerd and that is reason why people acyt very seriously when anyone from their family dies. They think as if they are lost somewhere and never going o come back but they all are unknown with one more bitter reality that is, if human beings never dies than it is one more problem for this universe because it will create more crowd and more crisis. Therefore in my view, everyone should be informmed about the reality of human life. It is created to be destroyed so that everyone could act normally as they act in birth they should they should act the death as well.

    I find it humorous that talking to children about death is taboo when a third of the population expose their children to the belief that if they do something wrong they'll end up in hell. Death is a natural part of life, the sooner they understand and accept it, the better off and healthier they will be. It's about time children were taught the realities of life and not have them replaced with a fiction in kind. 5482550 - Christian N.

    I think thats a tough one because how young is too young to understand? i feel at someone point in ones childhood it should be adressed but yes it may be taboo but also its something that needs to be understood.
