Abstract
Facing this natural law that no individual can avoid, death education has become an important part of the current education system, which directly affects the healthy development of individuals and whether individuals can actively face life. At present, many countries have set up death related education courses to help more people understand death correctly and face death. Moreover, many western countries have long begun to study the topics related to death and life, and regard death as a necessary way of life, as an important issue of life education, and conduct analysis and research. Therefore, starting with the lack of children's death education in contemporary China, this paper discusses the current situation of children's death education in China, and emphasizes the importance of death education for children and the necessity and importance of death education for children's physical and mental health development.
