Excessive concern for parents may lead to misunderstanding of children. Dr Stanley Tredge, a child psychologist, called this phenomenon the microscope effect, and gave the following examples in the lecture. After Eric went out to school at the age of five, his mother found that his pet goldfish had died. She panicked, fearing that her son would overreact when he came back, and even took a half-day off to go to the library to look up information and try to solve it. In the afternoon, the couple went to school to pick up the children, carefully revealed the death of the goldfish, and suggested preparing a small funeral for the goldfish in the backyard. However, Eric still looked very anxious the next day, so the parents thought that the child was still in the shadows. They took the child to see Dr. Tredge. The child said that he didn't understand what mom and dad did for. He said that his parents are very busy, but all he can think of is to put the dead goldfish in the toilet and wash it away with water, and then buy a new one to appease the children with the power of religion and belief.

Timmy, the oldest child in this family, is terminally ill. The family talked a lot about Timmy's soul going to heaven, but the 5-year-old sister couldn't understand the relationship between body and soul. Dad came up with a perfect explanation. He put on leather gloves and told his daughter that the soul lives in the body, just like my hand is in the glove. Then he shook his finger and said, when we were born, the soul was in the body and they were together. Then dad slowly took off his gloves and said that we were dead, and the soul came out of the body like a hand leaving the gloves and went to heaven. The body is no longer useful and stays underground. This explanation satisfied the whole family. Our reaction to death will set an example for children and affect their lives.
