"Why do people die?" What not to say: Absolute guarantees are never a good idea. "Telling your child 'We'll definitely be okay' isn't really accurate. Better to use qualifying terms, such as 'Most planes don't crash,'" says Brooks. These responses quell fears but are still honest. If a pet dies, it's best not to say something like "It's so sad that he's gone, but we'll get another dog soon." A preschooler -- who views his pets as part of the family -- might think, "If I die, will Mommy get a new boy?" How to answer: Rather than muddle through a talk on death and dying, cut to the heart of the matter. "A good first response is 'What do you think about this?'" says Myrna Shure, Ph.D., author of Raising a Thinking Child. This is not a dodge.
Mortality, the subject of death, has been a curious topic to scholars, writers, and the common man. Each with their own opinion and beliefs. My personal belief is that one should accept mortality for what it is and not go against it.
In the United States and worldwide people have different culture, beliefs and attitude about death. Over the past years, death is an emotional and controversy topic that is not easy to talk about. Everyone have a different definition of what is death and when do you know that a person is really dead. In the book Death, Society, and Human Experiences by Robert J. Kastenbaum demonstrates that you are alive, even when doctors pronounce you dead.
Death, not something most 4 year olds have to deal with. When I was 2 I got a sporting/hunting dog, a German Shorthaired Pointer, named Spike. Spike was a 2 year 4-month old dog. As both a young puppy and a young dog he had both cool tempered and playful. The death of my first dog is the first memory I have of loss.

In the article “What Does It Mean to Educate the Whole Child?” Nel Noddings attempts to provide a deeper insight on what it means to educate the whole child. According to the article, public schools in the United States are currently facing a huge pressure to provide students with thorough and efficient education. In this connection, a program known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) has endeavored to ensure that efficient education is provided to all minority children, especially the many who are in the inner-cities. Notwithstanding this endeavor, individuals from some quarters have criticized NCLB by claiming that it is an unfunded mandate since it comes up with costly demands without providing necessary resources to meet them. In effect, among
Death is the one great certainty in life. Some of us will die in ways out of our control, and most of us will be unaware of the moment of death itself. Still, death and dying well can be approached in a healthy way. Understanding that people differ in how they think about death and dying, and respecting those differences, can promote a peaceful death and a healthy manner of dying.

My Philosophy about Child Development Works Cited Missing A child's development affects how they learn. All children don't fit the norms of development but not all children should be looked down on because of this. The development of the body and mind leads to the development of skills a child learns in life. Teachers need to help the child expand their skills and the knowledge to do the skills well. "Virtually everything a young child does is affected if physical development is delayed" (Charlesworth, 2000).
In the cognitive level of analysis there are three principals that can be demonstrated through research. The cognitive level of analysis focuses on the mental processes, for instance like memory, attention, thinking and language. With that information it see how we take in all our outside information and process it. The three principals consist of; social and cultural factors that affect cognitive processes, human beings are information processors and that mental representations guide behavior, and that mental processes can and should be studied scientifically by developing theories and by using a variety of research methods. These principals allow us to focus on how behavior can truly affect our cognitive levels of analysis.
When I originally signed up for this course, I was uneasy about it. Talking about death has always made me feel anxious, as it does with most people in our society. However, over the course of the semester, I’ve learned that not only is it okay to talk about death and dying, but it also makes me feel less anxious about death. Things that I have learned in this course will help me in many ways in both my professional and personal life.
The importance of using the theme of death in so many books and teaching it to others is based off of two assumptions. One is that we need to learn how to face the inevitability of death and to understand that it happens to everyone. The second is that we need to be educated in order to make smart decisions about
Responding to these questions is much simpler , and the consequences of decisions limiting fade to visualize the meaning that we find when we remove the fears, understand the present and expand our span of attention , there only comprehensively understand what Jodorowsky said it best: " death is an illusion of the individual ego. The universe is eternal. Either way , always will exist "
I was very excited to take Death and Dying as a college level course. Firstly, because I have always had a huge interest in death, but it coincides with a fear surrounding it. I love the opportunity to write this paper because I can delve into my own experiences and beliefs around death and dying and perhaps really establish a clear personal perspective and how I can relate to others in a professional setting.
As I personally take the time to have a reflection over the course of “Child and Adolescent Development” I find myself intrigued with the amount of knowledge I gained during this course this semester. I wanted to take the time to concentrate on three specific areas in which I felt I had the most growth, but also came as a challenge to me as well. It is important when reflecting over a course that I look at what I found to be challenging, as this was an opportunity of growth for me individually. In this paper I will review some of the main topics that I found to be interesting but also resourceful for my future aspiration not only as a family life educator but also a mother one day.
