death

Death is one of the most difficult topics to talk about with a child. Announcing the loss of someone from the child’s close circle creates a lot of anxiety on parents. So how do we talk about death with the child?

Infants and children aged 0-3 cannot cognitively understand death. They feel the emptiness and absence of the deceased, the child who cannot express himself cognitively feels pain and tension in his body. When they are lost caregivers, they experience tension about not meeting their needs. Sadness, anxiety, eating disorders, sleep problems, developmental deviation, regression, increased crying are possible reactions in children in this age range. Meeting the needs of the child and having a stable caregiver can be defined as the most important help that can be given to children.
