When Bad Things Happen
Talking to Children About Disasters
For all kids: You often have the best conversations when you're not making a big deal out of it – just have casual conversations while driving, playing Legos or hanging out on the playground.
For everyone: Regardless of their age (this means Mom and Dad too), rehearse safety measures in case of emergency. Then, the best thing you can do is help those in need – whether it's the victims of Hurricane Katrina or just those less fortunate in your community. Helping others is a great way we can show our compassion and empower our kids.
