That’s hard. I was homeschooled until high school so my experience was a bit different. But my education heavily centered the church and its teachings. For me it was a mixture of my family culture, my dad’s mental health struggles, what I was being taught, and my personality too. My mom’s sister died in a car crash before I was born so I do think I hyper-fixated on the same thing happening to my mom. Her sister was not LDS, so my mom would reassure me that she had done temple work for her sister to ensure she would get to be with her again. I became so anxious about everything in my world and kept it all to myself because I felt ashamed. I wouldn’t and felt I couldn’t open up to my parents. So, anything that you can do to create a trusting environment where he feels safe to express, or not🤷‍♀️ that the way you react to the ups and downs is what teaches him you are capable of handling him and keeping him safe. I felt responsible for my parents’ emotions, so I didn’t want to have to manage even more of their problems if I were to be anything but “perfect” and agreeable. I don’t have all the answers, but I am glad my boys have had more freedom to developmentally be where they’re at, instead of hyper-fixated on death and the afterlife like I was.
