Loving and Educating
Children
Our country is living through a time of great uncertainty. As a
parent of small children, I often wonder how much information my kids are
understanding.and how I can help them process such news.
Although all of us try our
best to shelter our children, truth be told, we may be unaware of what
they have heard so far. It is
amazing what children overhear from phone or conversations or what they
may glean from the media.
Part of loving & educating children is giving
them the necessary tools to understand their surroundings.
Kids need to be told the truth, but as parents we need to deliver
these complex and difficult life moments in a language where children can
feel protected and loved. The
following website: www.talkingwithkids.org
has a special section about talking about terrorist attacks &
other hard issues. (http://www.talkingwithkids.org/twk-news-terror-resources.htm).
Wishing you all peace and safe journey.
