Family Guide and Parenting Tips

It is very important that you contact the child death depending on the level of understanding of the child. Not the same the death of a grandparent to a child of 6 years for a child of 11 years. A 11 year old has a greater concept and knowledge to understand that a person is born and after a few years, dies. Therefore, the most important thing always catch up on what you know your child, ask what you know about death before speaking. As an example, the child is so spontaneous that will tell you that dying is to go to another place. If you do not understand so little else that this concept, we must continue down this path. Obviously, depending on the beliefs of each one must explain the death, but always taking into account what the child’s intellectual level, ie what the child knows about this issue.

This communication, if we stimulate and grow since the children are very young, when they reach adolescence, if they have a problem, have the ability to communicate to parents.
