This week, all of the disasters that have taken place have really upset and affected me. I wanted to share ideas of how to explain these events to our kids, how to reassure them, and how to encourage them to grow up caring and responsible adults who are willing to help those in need in our world. It is a difficult thing to shatter a child’s innocence and security, but it is vitally important that they be aware of how the world works, and that bad things can happen to anyone. The best we can do is help the children understand, and prepare them as much as possible to handle things that come up unexpectedly.
Here is a link where you can find out more about how you and your family can help.
