nice Q.....
what i remember....only when a child comletes age of 6 yrs....he can understand the meaning of death........
i dont understand, whether this child has or hasnt understood wht death is........
considering child knows as he is of 6....none of the options seems to be correct....
getting extinguisher is good option but the childs phobia for the stove will not be relieved just by getting that thing......its dificult to please him or make him understand advantages of a fire extinguisher.
i feel they shud take the stove away from him for few weeeks......
or shift to some other place temporarily....
i will go with D....
confused

i think is >8-9 y/o when they realise irreversibility& inevitability of death----> i d think he is reacting Normal, yet none of A,B,C,D dont help the child to get over this sooner.
D) is my answer

  #5

thats nice........luckyall.......kaplan says, less than 5 yrs.......no idea about death.......
by 8 to 9yrs........child can understand....the irreversibility and bla....bla.....of death.

i dont understand what about this boy???
he is in between.......
i thought he might be undestanding death but not completely.
he cannot understand the inevitibility of death.....nor his parents can make him undrstand either.
so in these situations its better to switch to some different place if not parmanently.....so he cud no longer recall those bad memories....atleast the wooden stove...

what do u say..........

  #6

is this about the age to get the meaning of death or about the stimulant to remind the bad memory guys??

I guess I would get rid of the stove br the house gets rid of me smiling face

what is it addi ???
