Exploring the Value, Practical Challenges, and Implementation Pathways of Life Education for Young Children

Abstract

Objective: To explore scientifically grounded approaches for implementing death education for young children and to analyze the practical challenges involved. Methods: Utilizing literature analysis and theoretical construction, this study investigates existing issues in early childhood life education and proposes practical pathways for its scientific implementation. Conclusions: 1) The core obstacle to death education lies in the disconnect between traditional views of life and the modern educational system, which gives rise to multiple difficulties including cognitive biases, conceptual confusion, and a scarcity of resources.2) The scientific implementation of death education holds significant value for fostering sound personality development in young children and enhancing the functions of modern education. Its ultimate purpose is to guide children toward an understanding of life's finitude, thereby helping them learn to cherish and revere life.
