My 3 1/2 year old has recently started asking questions about dying. It is obviously worrying him a lot, and he is asking me the same few questions repeatedly throughout the day. It has also coincided with increased separation anxiety.
I am trying toanswer his questions truthfully, but in an age appropriate way, but its really difficult to know what to say. I am obviously not saying anything that is satisfying him because he is still worrying and still asking the same few questions all the time: "how do people die?" "when do people die?" "do people die?"
But does anyone have any advice on how they dealt with this, or any good books that could help?
Thanks.
