Abstract:
In this paper,we analyzed the role of the surviving caregiver on bereaved children's mental development.In bereaved family,living with mother,appropriate expression of grief,good psychological health level and positive parent-child interaction could promote the healthy development of bereaved children.Otherwise,bereaved children would suffer the secondary damage which stemmed from surviving caregiver's inappropriate reaction.Therefore,further research could explore the effect of bereavement type and the personality of surviving caregiver on the relation between surviving caregiver and bereaved children's mental development.
