My 4 year old asks about dying a lot - it is never in relation to her having cf, we haven't talked about that yet and no one in our immediate family has died. She is always asking when she will die, when we will die, when her grandparents will die... Anyone else have preschoolers that talk about death so much? We don't lie but I try to get her off the subject - any advice?

My daughter went through a long period of that. At the time I had people dying all around me and I was going to funeral quite frequently so I am sure that is what got her thinking. I took it as an opportunity to discuss things. Hers didnt start out with CF....just general discussions of dying. We spoke of my Dad and Nephew who passed etc. I dont ever want her to think she cant ask me ?? so I try not to get too emotional or freaked when she brings the topic up. I have expanded my answers as she has gotten older to accomodate her age level. I think its normal!

My niece is 5 and for a whole year around 4 all she did was obsess about death and dying. With no reason at all in her life. My almost 6 year old has asked about basic stuff but never obsessed with it. I think its a normal phase, every kid goes through some aspect, some more that others.
