Talking to Your Children about Violence and Tragedy
In the wake of the tragic shootings in Newtown, CT, and elsewhere around the nation, Jim Bates, EHE family wellness faculty with OSU Extension Family and Consumer Sciences, has collected resources online for you to use and share.Tragedies like the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT (Dec 2012) evoke many emotions—sadness, helplessness, anger, confusion, and anxiety. Children may wonder if their home, school, and community are safe, although they may not necessarily verbalize their concerns. Parents and caregivers can help children understand these concerns by allowing them to ask questions and by responding with accurate information appropriate to the child’s age. It is important that parents and caregivers reinforce to very young children the idea that they will do everything possible to keep them safe. Children should be reminded that school and community leaders are also working to keep their community safe. HTML
