7yr outmoded (pre-occupied) near disappearance? Normal?
I don't know if I would say she is pre-occupied or obsessed or anything like that...she is basically asking a lot of questions about burial, and cremation, and in the order of who is going to get our stuff (if it is her that dies, or me that dies.) She is saying that she is afraid she will have to attain a job to pay my bills if I die, and WHO is going to take caution of her? AND stuff like can she be cremated with me even if she isn't dead.and of late in general in her usual conversations, she will say stuff like "I would just die if I fell bad the swing...etc...etc". Seems like she is bringing it up like 6-8 times a day.
I try to explain faultless stuff when she brings it up, and I try to ask her why she is talking about it so much (if she hears going on for it on the cartoons or something), but she doesn't answer. She probably doesn't know.
Do you? Is she t0oo young to be contemplating death? How prehistoric were your kid's when they thought about death? Did you discourage these kind of train of thought? Will she grow out of it?
I know there is certain "syndromes" where a individual is OBSESSED with death and everything having to do near dying.when do I worry about this? How much is T0OO much?
I would turn take her to see a doctor. She has probably seen to plentiful documentaries on Michael Jackson's death.
I don't think it's anything too serious, she's probably only getting to an age where she's starting to really understand what death is. I would influence it's just a phase, whenever she brings it up, just quickly answer her interrogate and than change the subject. If she doesn't lose interest within a month or so, than look into what could be causing her to ask adjectives these questions.
My son was going on for 6 when his grandma died and he was asking similar questions. It really helped him to know that both of his parents have made wills and had documented what would happen to the kids if we died--who would take attention to detail of them, where they and their stuff would go. He was still worried, though, roughly speaking what if we died and he didn't know whom to contact, so I wrote up a list of relatives with addresses and phone numbers, for use contained by an emergency, for him to keep in his dresser. I found that giving him practical answers to his fears helped lessen them.
Usually, I've found that it is correct to trust your own intuition. If some time goes by and she doesn't drop the issue, if your intuition tells you that it is still too much, then contact your pediatrician or a counselor almost it..
I wouldn't worry something like it. She may just be curious on the subject of death more than usual. The question might simply fade away and re-assure her that everything is going to be fine and she won't be left with the issue of you or her dieing.
How long has this been going on? Has someone surrounded by your family died recently? There has be a lot on TV lately about death and this could be where on earth she is getting this from.
It is not unusual for young children to worry about one of their parents dying. It is solely a problem if she is not functioning well in her normal deeds.
If you are concerned you should have her assessed by a child therapist.
i wouldnt be worried about her questions. presently i would be worried about where she is getting them from. like who is teeling her the things that are giving her the curiosity
You should really walk to the doctor with her and ask about it because it could be very serious or it could a short time ago be her hearing it on tv or something its never a bad thing to dance get it checked out.
did someone she know just recently die? it is not unusual for kids to ask these question, they just want to be reassured everything will be OK.
when my mother died a year ago when my daughter was only just 4 she asked me many questions about passing and why it happens. It is perfectly normal. answer as all right as you can and don't make any big deal out of it. If it continues for months perhaps you should afterwards seek professional help for her.
Answers: I have read (sorry I don't remember where) that 7 years is the age that tons kids become interested in understanding death. Maybe contained by my child psych class. Anyway, try to remain calm when you answer. From your question it doesn't sound at adjectives out of the ordinary or distressing. If she gets upset about it for more than a week or seem to talk about it and not want to do or talk just about anything else talk it over with a pediatrician or nurse. I remember reading it and thinking that I had found it weird when my niece started asking me and she was exactly the same age. Best of luck!
