Death is inevitable, but is often hidden away, talked about in whispers.\u202fFinding the language to talk with children about death is challenging,\u202fwhether in the home or in school environment.\u202f\u202fIt\u2019s often easier to assume\u202fthat children are not ready nor interested in learning about death, than to\u202fproactively prepare oneself to explore the issue together. In this seminar\u202fdiscussion Dr Sabina Hulbert presents empirical evidence supporting the\u202fclaim that primary school children are indeed expecting parents and carers\u202fto engage in these conversations when they return home from school. It was a first-class event bringing together diocesan directors of education, church leaders of children\u2019s ministry and academics interested in the research area of children\u2019s spirituality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
