? In the new semester, the kindergarten specially customized the "single-family villa", which provided a new place and environment for raising animals. We immediately mobilized our parents' resources and brought two rabbits, one black and one small, just born, about the size of an iron pot steamed bread. Unexpectedly, two days after the weekend, the rabbit died. It's really distressing to see Blackie lying at home. Thinking about burying rabbits with children. Before the burial, I told the child about this situation. I didn't know the cause of the rabbit's death, so I explained to the children that "the rabbit was just born and its hair hasn't grown thick yet." It may freeze to death when it is cold. " After that, the children did not show sad emotions and expressions, but were curious about burying rabbits.

? Let's see grandpa help us dig a hole for the rabbit and bury it deeply in the soil. When grandpa was filling the hole, Qiu Ying said, "Cover the rabbit with soil, and it won't be cold." When I heard this, I wondered, "Are the children naive or are they not sure that the rabbit is dead?" This idea was not verified at that time. After burial, in order to remember our "new home" for rabbits, the children picked up branches, leaves and small stones in the pond and put them in the soil as a souvenir.

In the next day or two, the children's discussion about rabbits was going on from time to time.

Wuer: Miss Li, why hasn't the rabbit come home yet? Haven't you warmed up yet?

Carrots: Rabbits have long hair. Why is it in the soil?

Fruit: The rabbit is there (pointing to the hole where the rabbit is buried).

Yue Yue: Miss Li, the stone I put is still there. The rabbit hasn't come out yet.

This reflects that children have rabbits in their hearts and love animals very much, but it also reflects that they don't understand the true meaning of "death". Do you want to talk to the children? Near the end of the year, I also lost a close family member, which I have never experienced in more than 30 years. In those days, I was immersed in sadness and didn't know how to solve my sadness. In this sadness, I am afraid of the natural phenomenon of death. So seeing that children are not clear about death, I wonder if it is necessary for me to talk about death with so few children.

First, do the children understand? Secondly, death is sometimes an evasive topic in our country, even a taboo. But I also think that more and more teenagers have mental health problems, and it makes us sad to solve the problems by suicide. Should some death education be properly carried out?

When we think about these problems, the natural corner and planting activities in our class are gradually launched. We take our children to observe the growth of strawberries and shallots, and take them outdoors to observe the natural changes in spring and the recovery of everything. We educate children to pay attention to the growth of life and tell them to water plants and care for life. Then why can't we talk about the death of life with our children, and let them sigh more about the preciousness of life when they see the prosperity.

So, I used the book Badger's Gift in the library area to tell children the story of animal death. Although the badger is dead, the small animals will still think of it, mention it and never forget it, and the gift left by the badger to the small animals will never disappear like a "treasure". Later, I read Grandpa Became a Ghost with my children, which made them understand that "our family will leave us like rabbits, and we should love them more from now on." These two books are also a kind of psychological comfort for me, because my children are accompanying me and slowly learn to let go of my obsession.

After reading these two books, the children are quiet, much more "cold and cheerless" than when they know that they want to bury rabbits. So, do children really understand death? I don't think it's necessary to measure it by results, and I can't accept talking about peace talks with children.

Death is a natural thing, but it takes a long time to learn. While giving children life education, we also don't forget death education, so that they can understand the preciousness of life and cherish themselves.
