死亡这个话题在大多孩子的成长过程中一般是不会被父母主动提及的，“ 死 ”这个字也常常视作不吉利的禁忌。 据皮亚杰儿童死亡认知研究可知，死亡对于认知发展中的儿童来说并不是一件不能接受的事情，反而是父母的过度焦虑，导致了儿童对于死亡的认知的相关问题。

那么，当孩子问到“死是什么”，家长应该怎么回答？是避而不谈，害怕伤害到孩子的心灵？还是将死亡形容得过于美好，让孩子对死亡产生错误理解，从而不珍惜生命？或是过于直白形容而使孩子感到不理解和害怕？过于委婉或直接都不利于孩子对于死亡的认知，那么，到底应该怎么告诉孩子：死亡是什么？

绘本用孩子可以接受的插图和语言，来讲述一个故事，给予儿童足够的安全感。帮助儿童认识死亡、了解生命的有限性和不可再生性，从而珍爱生命。

The topic of death is generally not actively mentioned by parents during the growth process of most children, and the word 'death' is often regarded as an unlucky taboo. According to Piaget's research on children's death cognition, death is not an unacceptable thing for children in cognitive development. Instead, it is the excessive anxiety of parents that leads to issues related to children's cognition of death.

So, when a child asks "what is death", how should parents respond? Is it to avoid discussing, afraid of harming the child's soul? Or describe death as too beautiful, causing children to misunderstand death and not cherish life?Or is it too straightforward to describe and make children feel incomprehensible and afraid?Too tactful or direct is not conducive to children's understanding of death,so how should children be told: what is death?

Picture books use illustrations and language that children can accept to tell a story,giving children enough sense of security. Help children recognize death,understand the limitations and non renewability of life,and cherish life.
