Description

An explorative study was conducted to try and understand how young children's emerging death concepts form including, (a) what family demographics and child factors contributed to family well-being,(b) did family well-being influence children's social competence, and (c) did family well-being and children's social competence influence children's death conceptions. Although the subject of death contains many unique characteristics, it is not easily separated from other aspects of life; death is inseparable from the whole human experience(DeSpelder & Strickland, 2002). It was the assumption of this paper that children develop their conceptions of death based on the appreciation they hold for life; based on children's growth in pro-social behavior, self-worth, spirituality,values, and morals.
