Talking to your kids about tragedy

While we have observed some unfortunage tragedies in the news this week, perhaps your child may be asking you questions that may be difficult to answer.  We would like to help you share two websites that offer tips in talking to your kids:
PBS Parents: Mister Roger's Neighbor Hood, Helping Children with Scary News:
Addresses issues such as helping children feel secure, limiting your own television veiwing, talking and listening to your child, and helpful hints.
University of Minnesota Extension Service:
Offers pointers on how to talk to your children about violence against kids.  This is from their Preventing Violence in Our Scools Webpage
