Abstract
This paper will explore the perceptions of death by young children. Development of death concepts, cognitive and emotional understandings, and grieving patterns are examined. Awareness by early childhood educators of a child's mourning process can lead to a healthier outcome for bereaved children, lessening instances of complicated grief or secondary stressors. Implications of findings advocate a nurturing attitude and open discussions between bereaved children and educators.
