My 7-year-old has been asking a lot of questions about dyiny since his grandfather passed away. The typical question are; what happens when you die, do you see God, how old are you when you die etc. Is this normal for the age?
Death is one of the hardest subjects to broach with young children, especially when you’re struggling to deal with your own sorrow.
Children will ask a lot of questions, especially as they try to understand what has just happened.
Let your children know that death is a natural occurrence and that is can happen to anyone. This way you can help calm their fears by allowing them to understand that all people and living things eventually die.
