As I'm sure you heard, there were tragic events that took place on Friday in the United States. I know it was a tragic event that hits home for all of us who have children in school, or who work with children in school as I do. With any even like this, it is easy to be sucked in by all the news coverage. I know that for myself, I had to make a conscious effort to turn the TV off, as I found it all too emotional. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for students to see and hear. I'd like to remind you of the importance of limiting the media intake of this event with your children. I came across this article that is a good reminder of how to speak to the children about this event: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the-hot-button/hug-your-kids-say-you-love-them-and-dont-over-talk-the-connecticut-shootings/article6397128/
If you have any questions about how to talk about this event, or if you've noticed any anxiety in your child after hearing about it, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to help you or your child.
