When Students Encounter Death.

This article begins with an overview of Jean Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development, as this model can be used to identify corresponding implications related to death and bereavement in the developing child. The article also delves into the experience of death that a student may encounter, in terms of the impending death that they may face due to terminal illness, as well as the sudden or expected death of a close family member, such as a parent or sibling. Treatment and support methods are also discussed.
