Under the outbreak, how to give the child a lesson! Death education

In the face of the disaster caused by this sudden outbreak, the "death" of a widespread human infection, how should the parents of children use this opportunity to educate their children about their deaths?

Death itself is a frightening thing, but without close contact with death, we cannot really understand the meaning of life.

Parents are the children's first teacher and lifelong teacher. Dear parents, in the current outbreak, let us give our children a death education lesson. "Death education is a part of life education, only a correct understanding of death, in order to better understand the meaning of life, more respect for life, love life." "

In my opinion, there are at least three aspects of death education.
The first is the objective phenomenon of death.

Today's children are rare in insects, not to mention chicks, so it's hard for them to understand human death by recognizing the death of other creatures.
Some families have pets, but the most common pets, cats and dogs, life expectancy is more than ten years, which is so easy to happen to die when the child is young? And some parents in order not to hurt their children's hearts, even if the pet died, but also use fairy tales to deceive children.
Today's people, who rarely die at home, mostly die in hospitals and then are taken to funeral homes for cremation. Hospitals and funeral homes are places where people deliberately keep their children away. The cemetery is also in the far suburbs, where can children like the past in the roadside fields can see the grave?

The second is the social etiquette associated with death.

In the village society of the past, the family context is complex, and children can follow adults to see countless funerals. But in modern society, it is a small family, and most of the funerals that adults attend are due to social relations, not blood. For example, if you go to the funerals of colleagues and friends, you certainly won't take your children with you?
A few years ago, the first time I attended the funeral home to attend the city funeral, is to bid farewell to one of my teachers, really helpless, embarrassed to the extreme, because I never know what this funeral etiquette is like, can only follow others behind, people bow, people leave flowers I laid flowers, people shake hands with family members I closely followed the handshake, but I shook hands with the family, even what to say.
On another occasion, a friend's father died, the wedding red envelope is to the reception desk when entering, the funeral also has a reception desk?

The third is the philosophical understanding of death.

It is precisely because in modern society people or deliberately or unintentionally keep their children away from death, it is difficult to educate about death-related philosophy.
It can be said that in the modern society four old people, two parents of the family environment, if nothing changes, the children of this family may grow to 20 years old have not seen death, did not attend the funeral.
In this case, when you go to talk to your child about the philosophical issues associated with death, you feel very hard.
Many parents want to communicate these ideas with their children
People should cherish life and cherish the love of others when they are alive;
People are always going to die, the people who love are dead, we have to accept reality, out of grief;
The dead live forever in the hearts of those who love them, and we will commemorate them at certain times with specific ceremonies;
People want to live valuable, after death, there will be more people respect you, remember you.
......
However, due to the lack of early death education from an early age, it is very difficult to skip the first two rings to speak directly about these abstract thoughts.

The experience of life tells me that death is not simply disappeared and everything is zeroed, the meaning of death is to reproduce the original color of life.

On the topic of death education with children, I am a parent who is more inclined to wait until the child is cognitively mature and then talk about it.
