It got me thinking, at what age is it alright to discuss death with children. By discuss I mean explain what it is and the implications of it.
I'm not really interested in a discussion about it, I just want to see the poll results. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves about it. State your opinion, that should lead to more.

first of all 3 is too young to be exposed to tv shows that feature graphic depictions of death. those parents should get a smack upside the head for it.
second, its a mistake to liken death to sleep. doing so makes some sensitive children scared of sleeping. death should be referred to as death.
third, death should be discussed when death comes up and the child is old enough to notice. so the 3 year old should be told that the dog is dead or that grandma died. the rest of the discussion depends on the actual age of the child and how much s/he wants to talk about it.
fourth, you shouldn't lie to your children. you are the source of all trust, all knowledge, all truth. lying to them makes them doubt everything about the world. they should have someone that they can go to and know that what they are told is true. that someone should be their parents.
