Falleció our mascot what I say to him to the boys?
Hace time had the concept of which the children were adult in miniature and had therefore to act agreed. Nowadays a greater sensitivity to the differences in the infantile development and other stages of development in the cycle of the human life exists. There are many differences between the process of the pain in the children and the adults. The fundamental thing is not if the children experiment or not to weigh and duel, but as they show it.
Explanation of the death
Keeping silence about the death (which indicates that the topic is taboo) aid to the boy not to adapt to the loss. When it speaks with a boy of the death, the explanation must stay so simple and direct as it is possible. One is due to speak with honesty and sufficient details for the level of understanding to his age and stage to them of development. To the children it must give it them security, since frequently they worry if they are going to also die, or if it is the rest of the family who is going to die. The answers must be honest and direct and it is due to be sure that the boy processes the information.
Correct language
In spite of the difficult thing that it is to initiate a conversation on the death with the children, this conversation must include the appropriate words like (?cancer?, ?death?, ?died?). Eufemismos such as (?it is slept?, ?we lost it?, ?one went to beyond?) they do not have to be used because they tend badly to interpreting itself and to confuse the boy. [1,2]

After a death the children can and must be including in the process of duel and the plans of the rite. Although the children would never have to be forced to participate in the duel process, he is due to animate to participate to them in those aspects in which feels comfortable. The doliente family could be very occupied with her own pain, reason why he is better to choose an adult of confidence or near relative who helps to the boy during the process.
