Talking About Current Events
How do I talk to my children about current events?
The recent tragedy in Texas has left many families feeling anxious, scared, sad, and angry. When things like this happen, we wonder why. It’s an even bigger question coming from our kids who attend school each and every day. How do we talk to the youth in our lives about these major events to gauge how they’re handling what they hear? It’s hard to have these difficult conversations when so many large emotions are involved, but click the link below for some helpful information to help you navigate these conversations.
