I'd be upset at that teacher!

WRT death and teaching about it, whenever we see a funeral procession I point out to DS that someone has died so they aren't here any more, we bury the body and we won't ever see them again in this life. But God will look after them and we may see them again in the next life. But not in this.

I do tell DS that you can die from running onto the road and I'd like him to stay alive for now, thank you very much. But I don't tell him he'll die from eating! If he has trouble with food Mummy and Daddy will help him.
