Routledge Children, Adolescents, and Death: Questions and Answers

Navigating conversations about death and grief can be difficult for adults. When children or adolescents ask questions about loss, many caregivers feel a sense of fear regarding providing the wrong answer. This book addresses that specific concern by offering guidance on how to handle death-related questions effectively. Instead of worrying about causing harm, you can use the information provided to address inquiries from young people with clarity. This resource helps bridge the gap between a child's curiosity and an adult's need to provide helpful, age-appropriate responses. It also examines the perspectives of caring adults, looking at how children and adolescents view death. Whether you are a professional or a caregiver, this text provides the necessary context to support young people through sensitive topics.
