Teaching children about death

Children are remarkable creatures. They are often much more open to complex concepts than the adults they ask questions of. Clear, age-appropriate answers are the best. And unless you are planning on indoctrinating your child in a faith system before they can chose that faith system for themselves it is best to keep ideology to the most basic of forms.

The other thing is to be sure of the direction the child is expecting the answer to go. I am reminded of the parent who was asked by their four year old "Where did I come from?" and launched into a fairly complex sex-education talk. When it was all over the parent asked if the child understood the answer. The child said "Not really, the boy next door says he came from Texas..."
