Louis XIV ruled his country as an absolute monarch for 72 years. This meant that no one could challenge him and his word was law.

Under his rule, the king’s command was law.  Critics who challenged the king were punished.  To control the nobles, Louis built a large palace at Versailles.  Leading nobles were expected to spend most of the year at the royal court, under the watchful eye of the king.  

Louis also interfered in the economic and religious lives of his subjects.  He demanded that Protestants convert to Catholicism or leave France.  Finally, Louis involved his subjects in a series of wars to expand France’s frontiers and bring glory to his rule.

Hobbes believed that kings were justified in assuming absolute power because only they could maintain order in a society.

Hobbes concludes by saying that peace is preferable to war under the Commonwealth of the Absolute Monarch. However, Hobbes contends that since men are inherently violent, this must also be true of the monarch as it is of every other individual human being. If so, the monarch and his subjects would be at war.

Parents should communicate openly when helping a child cope with the death of a loved one
Rama09 [41]
I think it is best to be honest and answer questions appropriately based on the child's age.  Use your words carefully because they will remember exactly what you say.  For example, if you say "Aunt Karen went to the hospital and passed away".  The child may interpret when people go to the hospital, the next step will be death.  There also are children's books that can help explain the death of a loved one.  If a child asks a question and you are not sure how to respond, its fair to state, "that is a good question, I don't have an answer right now however I will get back to you or have an answer for you later".  The child will remember, so do your homework and more important show them you are true to your word by responding at a later date. My husband died when my son was 6 so there was many conversations about death and dying in our home. I tried my best to normalize the situation and not present it as something to fear.  Losing a parent is very difficult for a child at any age, however, their brains are resilient and their coping skills are incredible.  If the child becomes depressed or despondent, seek professional help.  Love and comfort them as you would want to be comforted in a sad situation. Blessings.
