“
Parents’ Guide for Talking to their Children about War.”
With
increasing news about war and with talk about the threats of
terrorism, children, their parents and caregivers may feel uncertain
and robbed of a basic sense of safety and security. We all share
concerns about the horrors and dangers of war and terrorism.
However, as adults and parents, it is our job to help our children
and each other cope as best as we can with concerns that will
confront us as individuals, families, communities and as a nation.
Your
calm ability to listen to your children's concerns is one of
the most powerful ways of helping them to learn, understand
and feel safe and secure in the most important part of their
world---their families.
