SeashellScribe+FollowTalking to Our Kids About School Shootings: Finding the Right WordsEvery time I hear about another school shooting, my heart sinks. As a parent, I struggle with how to talk to my children about these tragedies without making them feel afraid to go to school. Last year, after a nearby incident, my daughter asked me if her school was safe. I took a deep breath and reassured her, but I also listened to her worries and let her know it’s okay to feel scared. We talked about the safety measures her school has in place and ways to look out for each other. These conversations are never easy, but I believe honesty and comfort go hand in hand.
