    Unhappy Talking about Death/dying


    DD is 4.5 and she is continually talking about dying, making up stories about death, dying etc
    Umm is this normal?
    I am worried

    Did she just learn about the concept of death? Perhaps heard it somewhere else if not at home?

    If she has, I'd say she's just curious and at this age, kids way of dealing with new things that are pretty big to get their head around is imagining and talking things through by making up stories to put it in context to what they understand

    I just made a thread about this too last week. DD just turned 5 and has started on about this. However apparently its just a phase. She hasn't mentioned it in the last couple of days, so hopefully she is over it.
